Produktinformationen zu „Pioneering Palm Beach (ePub)“
A vivid biography of the nineteenth-century society couple who helped turn a tropical wilderness into a Gilded Age paradise.
Palm Beach's sunny and idyllic shores had humble beginnings as a wilderness of sawgrass and swamps only braved by the hardiest of souls. Two such adventurers were Fred and Byrd "Birdie" Spilman Dewey, who pioneered in central Florida before discovering the tropical beauty of Palm Beach in 1887.
Though their story was all but lost, this dynamic couple was vital in transforming the region from a rough backcountry into a paradise poised for progress. Authors Ginger Pedersen and Janet DeVries trace the remarkable history of the Deweys in South Florida from their beginnings on the isolated frontier to entertaining the likes of the Flaglers, Vanderbilts, Phippses, Cluetts, Clarkes, and other Palm Beach elite. Using Birdie's autobiographical writings from her bestselling books to fill in the gaps, Pedersen and DeVries narrate a chapter in Florida's history that has remained untold until now.
