More about the book
The transformation of Houston into a major industrial hub is a compelling narrative that intertwines technology, geography, and politics. The Port of Houston, despite its challenging 50-mile access route through various waterways, has become the second-largest port in the U.S. by tonnage. Covering over 25 miles with extensive docks and facilities, its evolution from a congested river port to a thriving landlocked port reflects a unique blend of hard work, Texas pride, and serendipity as it embarks on its second century in 2014.
