KEY BISCAYNEA History of Miami's Tropical Island and the Cape Florida Lighthouse By Joan Gill Blank Long before the settlement of Miami, Key Biscayne was the gateway to South Florida. Its Cape Florida Lighthouse, the oldest standing light in southern Florida, has towered for seven generations over isolated keepers, devastating hurricanes, bloody Seminole wars, remote military installations, the first U.S. tropical plant introductions, coconut plantations, secluded hideaways, and elegant parties. Once a wild, subtropical tangle fringed with mangrove and buttonwood, parts of the island have been uprooted, cleared, drained, and farmed, eventually evolving into a sophisticated village of international inhabitants, affluent visitors, high-rise condominiums, and a world-acclaimed tennis and golf center. Two-thirds of the island is public parkland.The author is a longtime resident of Key Biscayne.New. 212 pages. Historic photographs, informative narrative.
