Review
"I found this book to be a fascinating and informative read. I highly recommend it." -- Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul
"Mr. Simon has captured the essence of South Florida's history that took us from swamps to golf courses." -- Carol Hanson, Mayor, Boca Raton, FL
"REMEMBERING is a trip back into time...when Florida was a place of natural magic, quirky characters, and pioneers." -- Marie Speed, Editor, BOCA RATON MAGAZINE
Product Description
REMEMBERING recounts the modern history of Southeast Florida with particular focus on Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Ft. Lauderdale from 1894-1999, when the population of Southeast Florida increased from about 1,000 to more than 4,000,000. Flagler's railroad arrived in Palm Beach in 1894, opening one of the last frontiers of America when the area was mostly swamp, alligators, panthers, Indians, pristine beaches, and wonderful winter seasons. Land booms, land crashes, pineapples, barefoot mailmen, gun runners to Cuba, circa 1898, and much more is included.
