  • Summary

  • Henry Rosenberg, a Swiss immigrant who arrived in Galveston in 1843, became a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, significantly shaping the city's development. Despite his contributions to public institutions, including the first free public library in Texas, Rosenberg's legacy is also tied to Galveston's complex history of slavery and segregation. His life story reflects not only his immense generosity but also the resilience and progress of a city that has grown through both its challenges and the enduring impact of his legacy.
