Large Softcover. Etat : Fine. An exceptional copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1999 Large Softcover. x, 260 pp. Black-and-white photographs, illustrations, and diagrams throughout. From as early as 10,000 years ago, the place we now know as Useppa Island has been visited by people. Useppa became…an island about 6,500 years ago, beginning a tradition of seasonal use by fishing people that would last for six millennia. Abandoned about 800 years ago, it was re-occupied in the eighteenth century by Spanish-Cuban fisherfolk who fished with Native Americans. This era came to an end in the 1830s when the U.S. asserted control and deported Indians to the West. Useppa played important roles in the Seminole Wars, the Civil War, and the early-20th-century Florida Land Boom era. A prime destination for the tarpon fisher, it was also the residence of Barron Collier, who built a broad-based development, transportation, resort, and communications business. It served briefly in 1960 as a training camp for Cuban expatriates, and in the 1960s and early 1970s as a fishing resort. The last quarter of the twentieth century saw the restoration of the island and its emergence as the Useppa Island Club. Learn about the incredible archaeology, history, and ecology of this tiny island, a place that played pivotal roles in military, economic, and social developments that affected millions of people. Detailed reports of archaeological findings and rich historical accounts are illustrated with drawings and photos. This book will be enjoyed by anyone interested in south Florida's past.
