A propos de cet article

Octavo, red cloth (hardcover), photo. illustrated endpapers,[160] pp. Very Good, with bookplate; in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Miami, the "Magic City," was just a settlement near Fort Dallas in Dade County in the early 1890s when Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad and to start a city at the new end of the line. Flagler's surveyors began work in 1896 -- and Miami was off to a good start. Yesterday's Miami is a photographic chronicle of the city and its sister communities, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and others. It shows the rapid progress made in such a short period, and portrays vividly the pulsating life of the city. Nixon Smiley tells a fascinating story of Miami and its people in the introduction and explanatory captions -- a story of the mighty and the powerless, the saintly and the crooked, the famous, infamous, and unknown ones. From Fort Dallas to Lemon City to the establishment of the city of Miami, the book covers all important events in its history -- early settlers, World War I, the Boom, the bust, Depression, World War II and beyond; early railroading, aviation, automobiles; politics, education, sports (even the first Orange Bowl game), entertainment, religion, etc.; and all other human activities that make a city a living organism; without which a city would be no more than an accumulation of wood, brick, and stone. Richard Hoit's photographs, supplemented by many other pictures from various sources, form the core of this book which conserves over two hundred and fifty images of the past that otherwise might have been lost or moldered in files and archives, inaccessible to all but a few. For the native, Yesterday's Miami is a nostalgic record of the past; for the newcomer or tourist, it offers the historical background necessary to understand the soul of a city.
