Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2007

A fifteen-year-old boy from New York, in 1839, finds himself thrust into a sea-going adventure in the Florida Keys. A popular book when first published in the 1860s, The Young Wrecker offers a wonderful depiction of nineteenth-century life in South Florida and in Key West. This book is close to perfect history for an area and era almost lost to historians.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkably enjoyable story for all ages!, October 5, 2001

Likes Cars! - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Young Wrecker on the Florida Reef (Paperback)

With its genuine classic "old style" of writing, this book will take and place you into the center of a wonderful journey of youth and growth. A great book and an interestingly easy read for those moments when catapulting yourself into another life, time and location is just what you need. I highly reccomend it, and don't forget to share this one with the younger generation in your homes!
