The Story of The Goodhue Hotel

Construction began in 1928 on the corner of Fifth Street and Waco. Forest Goodhue built this 11-story, 150 rooms hotel costing $450,000. On August 22, 1929, the Goodhue opened its Spanish motif structure. Two orchestras played at the Goodhue’s opening night (also with 10,000 people in attendance). Furnishings were styled in 17th-century- style maple wood. The most spectacular view of the city and lake was from the roof garden, 163 feet above the street. The view was so clear the Navy took it as their headquarters during World War II. For years, the Port Arthur Club occupied the scenic site.
The Goodhue Hotel was demolished in 1990.

Whiskey Rebellion: The Forgotten Revolt That Nearly Shattered the U.S.

Just a few years after the Constitution was ratified, the fledgling U.S. government faced its first internal crisis. The Whiskey Rebellion erupted in response to Alexander Hamilton’s controversial liquor tax, sparking years of rural resistance across western Pennsylvania. What began as passive defiance escalated into threats of secession, mob violence, and a 7,000-strong army nearly marching on Pittsburgh. The federal response, led personally by George Washington, became the first major test of national authority—and a moment that came frighteningly close to ending the American experiment before it had even begun.

The Texas Revolution: Eight Months That Redrew North America

In 1835, settlers and Tejanos in Mexican Texas launched a rebellion that exploded into a full-scale war for independence. Against dictator Santa Anna’s powerful army, Texan forces fought brutal battles, including the legendary Alamo and the Goliad Massacre. The conflict climaxed at San Jacinto, where Sam Houston’s surprise attack captured Santa Anna and secured Texas’s independence. The revolution reshaped North America, setting the stage for U.S. expansion, the Mexican-American War, and future conflicts over slavery. Texas emerged as the Lone Star Republic, forever changing the continent’s destiny.
