Editorial Reviews

"A new pictorial history of Marathon and the Middle Keys traces the community's growth from the earliest known settlers, through its Overseas Railroad era and the wrath of Hurricane Donna.

Then there are the oddball Keys events, like the plight of an unfortunate whale shark paraded through town and Mitzi the dolphin who became a movie star." —Florida Keys News
