Yesterday's Key West

Yesterday's Key West

Because of its mid-Gulf location, its inherent beauty and its siren call to travelers, Key West evokes a relaxing image of calm. Yet thanks to wars, hurricanes, depressions, business booms and fame both negative and positive, the island has been anything but calm for over a century. With the arrival and departure of presidents, the military, cigar rolling, sponging and shrimping, Key West has witnessed and survived amazing change and upheaval. This quality pictorial book captures that excitement and uniqueness. It depicts the influences of the Bahamians and Cubans, the military presence, and the development of tourism. It offers history, great fun, and detailed photo captions written by two fine journalists.
