Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. A fine work documenting local history. I read this to get more information on Fort Dade, and the facilities that can still be seen there today. This has a good bit of information on the Endicott period batteries and the people of the fort. Some of the information seemed to be inaccurate. There is no official record of WWI and WWII submarine wrecks off the key, as the book states. Overall, a good overview of local history. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Egmont Key has been a sentinel for ships entering Tampa Bay from the Gulf of Mexico for hundreds of years. Early European explorers recognized the island's strategic location. Its story reflects major events in the history of the United States and Florida, as the island played a role in the Seminole Wars, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II. Its lighthouse, now automated, is still a beacon for ships. For many years, people have enjoyed the beaches of Egmont Key, walked the red brick "roads to nowhere" and explored the ruins of Fort Dade. Authors Don and Carol Thompson aim to foster an appreciation of the uniqueness and beauty of Egmont Key, as well as an understanding of its place in history.
