Great book! If you live in South Florida, you will certainly appreciate so much of the history!! Anytime I drive through the keys, I’ll think about the thousands of laborers who worked and even some who died to build this engineering marvel. This book will surely inspire me to read more about Florida and its fascinating history.

This book added so much color to my appreciation of the Florida Keys. For anyone who enjoys the Keys, this is a must read to develop an understanding of how much was invested and lost for our enjoyment now.

A fascinating read that should be mandatory for residents and a must read for visitors of the State of "Fla.". If you have any regard for Florida in your heart, this book is for you. This gem provides a clear vision of a different time.... not so long ago .... of a man, his dream, a place and it's people, and the challenges of a unique journey. As they say, "It's not the destination..... It's the journey." In this work, you will find that and more.
