While on a cruise to Havana in 1911, Beater heard part of the Gasparilla story. That piqued an interest that persisted for fifty years, as he pored over old books and records and talked endlessly to early settlers to hear more hand-me-down yarns. This book recounts some of his best tall tales.

Colorful tales of Florida's pirate & treasure past....,
By
This review is from: Pirates and Buried Treasure on Florida Islands (Paperback)
The stories told in this small gem of a book (118 pgs.) are engrossing and entertaining from cover to cover. You'll meet such characters as; pirate Jose Gaspar a.k.a "Gasparilla" (who was not just a myth around whom a yearly parade revolves in Tampa), Homer Ludwig --- an eccentric old guy in the Keys who found pirate treasure around the turn of the century and a Greek sponge diver in Tarpon Springs named Alex Pappadakus who accidentally stumbled into an undersea fortune. To name just a few.... More than simple folktales, these stories are true and well written. Author Jack Beater seems like just the type of guy who could liven up any party telling tales of Florida's rich pirate and treasure past.

This review is from: Pirates and Buried Treasure on Florida Islands (Paperback)
Book is in like new shape, an excellent read and I'll probably need to buy another one as mine will soon be "dog eared and highlighted".
