Comprehensive look at the folks that settled Riviera Beach,
By Mark Mitchell (Sarlacc138@aol.com) (Winter Garden, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conchtown USA: Bahamian Fisherfolk in Riviera Beach, Florida (Paperback)
The author did a good job of interviewing many of the old-time settlers of Riviera Beach. Being one of the many grandchildren of Alborn and Alice Moree, it was a pleasure to read about events and places that they experienced early in their lives. Places and stories handed down to the family over the years. The book attempts to capture some of the true flavor of the accent and life-style of those first families, and does it pretty well. Also of interest is the portion of the book discussing the families' history in the Bahamas, and how the search for good fishing harvests brought them to Singer Island. Imagine buying land on the East coast of South Florida for $5.00 a lot! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in an accurate look at life in a Florida beach town of the early 1900's. The accompanying pictures are also wonderful!
