Sam Collins III is a proud father, husband, and BOI (Born on the Island). Sam has been an instrumental figure in the Juneteenth Legacy Project, the presidential pardon of Jack Johnson (the Galveston Giant), and restoration and historical projects throughout Galveston County.
He chairs or holds a seat on key historical, preservation, and community boards and committees throughout Galveston County and the state of Texas.

Ed Cotham is the prize-winning author of many books and articles on Civil War history, emphasizing the battles and skirmishes in Texas. He is also very interested in nautical history and has served as project historian for several important Civil War shipwreck projects. A frequent lecturer on these subjects, Ed also leads occasional tours of Texas battlefields and state historic sites. Ed's research interests also include a wide variety of historical events that took place in and around Texas. One of the most important of these events was the issuance of General Orders No. 3 (the "Juneteenth Order") in Galveston on June 19, 1865. In addition to a book on Juneteenth, Ed has recently released a book relating to Ulysses S. Grant's visit to Texas in March 1880.
