St. Petersburg and the Florida Dream, 1888-1950

St. Petersburg and the Florida Dream, 1888-1950 chronicles the early history of St. Petersburg and the lower Pinellas Peninsula. From the pre-columbian culture of the Tocobaga mound builders to the arrival of the railroad, from the St. Petersburg-Havana yacht races to the tin-can tourist to the first stirrings of the Sunbelt phenomenon following world war II, Raymond Arsenault's award-winning history presents a rich tapestry of the area.
