I found this description of Galveston in Vicki Betts newspapers from GALVESTON WEEKLY NEWS, October 8, 1862, p. 1, c. 4.

We found a few stores of dry goods and family groceries open with
small stocks to support the gradually increasing demand as the people return to their homes, but all the large business houses on the Strand and on other streets are closed and must continue so until the blockade is removed.
