Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: Key West - Couverture souple
Livre 2 sur 11: Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida
Synopsis
Key West keeps its history close, even when the facts and the legends do not agree.
Beyond the bright water, crowded streets, and sunset celebrations lies an island shaped by shipwrecks, epidemics, revolutionaries, railroad builders, famous writers, restless objects, and stories that refuse to disappear.
In twenty-six carefully researched chapters, Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: Key West explores the people and places behind some of the island's best-known tales. Visit the lighthouse lost in the hurricane of 1846, the African Cemetery at Higgs Beach, the cigar factories where readers carried news across the workroom, Robert the Doll, the Conch Republic, Captain Tony's hanging-tree tradition, Fort Jefferson, the Henrietta Marie, the Atocha, and many more.
Jonah Bell writes with the easy voice of a knowledgeable local guide while keeping an honest line between documented history, attributed folklore, and details no surviving record has confirmed. The mystery remains, but the people at the center of these stories are never treated as props.
Inside you will find:
- Ghost stories and local legends tied to real Key West locations
- History drawn from archives, newspapers, government records, and scholarship
- Practical location guides and respectful access advice
- Historic images selected from public-domain and reusable collections
- Clear explanations of what is documented, what is tradition, and what remains unresolved
For travelers, Florida history readers, folklore collectors, and anyone curious about what survives after the tour groups go home.
