Octavo, burgundy boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xi + 154 pp + [ii] pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Today, on the Keys between Key West and the mainland, some forty thousand residents and thousands of visitors fish, swim, sail, and dive in the crystal clear waters off a tropical reef; relax in the sun and cooling trade wind breezes; and sleep in the air-conditioned comfort of their homes and hotel rooms. On these same islands, as short a time as eighty years ago, fewer than three hundred inhabitants tried to eke out a living without benefit of electricity, running water, radios, or telephones. Tormented by clouds of voracious mosquitoes and no-see-ums, broiled by the tropical sun, they lived in thatched-roof homes regularly flattened by hurricane winds. Weeks would go by before some passing sailboat brought them news of the outside world or their relatives. The stories of these hardy pioneers and their predecessors, as far back as the Native Americans who lived on the Keys at least one thousand years ago, are told, many for the first time, in this book. Using old newspapers, diaries, letters, and government records, as well as interviews with old-timer natives of the Keys, the author has brought to life the trials and successes of Keys pioneers as they struggled to build a life for themselves and their loved ones in an often harsh environment. From the earliest Keys inhabitants -- who plundered wrecks on the reef and either murdered or rescued the survivors according to whether they were English or Spanish -- to the early-twentieth-century land owner who built a tower in an attempt to lure mosquito-eating bats, inhabitants of the Keys have coped with nature and other human beings as best they could. Their occupations have included such diverse ventures as salvaging wrecks, growing sponges, planting pineapples, making charcoal, and skinning sharks.

Octavo, blue cloth & boards (hardcover), gilt letters, x + 178 pp. Near-Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Excerpted from ships' logs, captains' diaries, court-marital transcripts, and newspaper accounts, the stories in this volume will make you glad you live in a modern world. It is the second in a series on the Florida Keys. The first, also by John Viele, was the popular The Florida Keys: A History of the Pioneers. Read harrowing tales of the cruelty and torture inflicted on mariners at the hands of blood-thirsty pirates, of pistol and cannon battles between merchant ships and wayward privateers, and of the hardships endured by some of Florida's earliest settlers. Before the days of air conditioning and bug killers, Keys pioneers braved the hostile, wild landscape; unforgiging heat; violent hurricanes; swarms of relentless mosquitoes; attacks by Seminoles angered by a government intent on removing them from their native land; and unscrupulous military leaders. You will meet some hapless mariners and abititious military leaders: Commodore David Porter, arrogant and bossy, angered Key Westers by establishing a naval base on choice plots of land that proprietors had reserved for their own businesses. Privateer Captain James Wimble was dogged by bad luck throughout his short life: he lost four ships to treacherous reefs and Spanish pirates; he went into debt paying fines for trumped-up charges of violating customs regulations; and is arm was severed by a chain shot during a confrontation with pirates. Robert Jenkins, captain of a British merchant ship, was tortured and had an ear cut off by a Spanish coast guard crew, thus sparking the War of Jenkins' Ear. In January 1841, an expedition led by Lt. John McLaughlin, USN, became the first group of white men to cross the Everglades from coast to coast. Sprinkled with hand-drawn illustrations, photographs, and maps depicting the lay of the land during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this book presents an exciting as well as scholarly, historically accurate account of life on the Keys and in the perilous Straits of Florida during the age of sail. An index and extensive bibliography are included. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, Florida Keys, Key West, Americana, U.S.-iana. TAS.

Octavo, burgundy cloth & blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 199 pp + Index. Fine (New) in a Fine (New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: To most people, the word "wrecker" brings a vision of evil men erecting false lights along a treacherous coast to lure unsuspecting ships to their doom. Even in their own time, wreckers, or shipwreck salvagers, were often referred to as pirates or scavengers of the sea. But were they really rogues or saviors? In this third book in a series on the history of the Florida Keys, John Viele tells the true story of the Florida Keys wreckers, the daring seamen who sailed out in fair weather or foul to save lives and property from ships cast up on the unforgiving Florida Reef. The story begins 500 years ago, when keys natives paddled out in dugout canoes to plunder wrecks and, often, kill or enslave any survivors. It continues with the Spanish salvage expeditions that came to the Keys in the 1600s and 1700s to recover treasure from their sunken galleons and employed Keys natives as salvage divers. Next came Bahamian sailors who, for nearly 100 years before the Americans arrived, sailed across the Straits of Florida to cut hardwood timber on the Keys, catch turtles, and salvage wrecks. New England fishermen were the next to discover the harvest of riches cast up on the Florida Reef. Settling first on the island of Key West in 1822, they began the wrecking industry that made Key West an important seaport and, for a time, the most populous and prosperous city in Florida. From the archives of the federal court at Key West, or "wrecking court," and from letters, diaries, and newspaper articles, the author has captured the drama of the lives and times of the Florida Keys wreckers with accuracy and clarity. In narratives of actual salvage operations, follow step-by-step how small sailing vessels with no more than a doze crewmen, using nothing but the power of the wind and the strength of their muscles, saved ships one hundred times their size from destruction on the reef. Through accounts of the lives of prominent wrecking captains, discover how the wrecking industry functioned and why few captains were successful enough to stay in the business for more than a few years. Richly illustrated with drawings from nineteenth century magazines and newspapers, artists' concepts of wrecking scenes, and reproductions of old paintings and photographs, this book will fascinate sailors and landlubbers alike.
