Haunted Fort Lauderdale [Paperback]

John Marc Carr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 9, 2008

Fort Lauderdale is famous for more than spring break, snowbirds and baseball. Known as the Venice of America, the city boasts a rich history, including a 1567 Jesuit mission and three forts that followed, battles waged between settlers and native tribes and the advance of the Florida East Coast Railway in 1896. Today the forts are gone, the battles have ended and the railroad only provides freight service, but the ghosts remain. Author John Marc Carr, founder of Fort Lauderdale Ghost Tours, leads readers along the historical New River Intracoastal Waterway, visiting several of the city's most significant landmarks.

I enjoyed the writing style, the details offered of the histories of the sites discussed, and the people involved, and why the places have spirits. Loved the pictures, and the fact that the addresses of each place covered are listed on the back page of the book!
