Remembering: A History of Florida's South Palm Beach County 1894-1998

by Sandy Simon

REMEMBERING recounts the modern history of Southeast Florida with particular focus on Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Ft. Lauderdale from 1894-1999, when the population of Southeast Florida increased from about 1,000 to more than 4,000,000. Flagler's railroad arrived in Palm Beach in 1894, opening one of the last frontiers of America when the area was mostly swamp, alligators, panthers, Indians, pristine beaches, and wonderful winter seasons. Land booms, land crashes, pineapples, barefoot mailmen, gun runners to Cuba, circa 1898, and much more is included.

About the author

Since having experienced a debilitating stoke I was substantially physically restored and my recovery was first centered around my paintings and my writings.

I felt the need to write a self-help book for the survivors and their family's - A Stroke of Genius. Other books have followed raging from Romance History, to Pure history books based on South East Florida to a story on the two week tour made at the request of the President Jimmy Carter.

My next book has already been started but more on that at a later time
