Download or read book A Brief History of Safety Harbor Florida written by Warren Firschein and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to legend, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto arrived on the shores of Safety Harbor in 1539 believing that he had discovered the fabled Fountain of Youth. For centuries, the area's natural mineral springs had hosted the Tocobaga people and would later attract early pioneers to west-central Florida. The natural mineral springs drew visitors to bathe in their restorative waters, and in the twentieth century, they were eventually transformed into the world-famous Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, enjoyed by wealthy socialites and professional athletes for decades. Today, the city is best known for its abundance of festivals and the collection of artists, writers, poets and musicians who call it their home--an oasis of calm within bustling Pinellas County. Join authors Warren Firschein and Laura Kepner as they detail the vibrant history of scenic Safety Harbor.
Download or read book Journey to Safe Harbor written by Elizabeth Jacks Scott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-06-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1975, author Elizabeth Jacks Scott was a young matron from New York with a husband and two small children and the new owner of an old sail loft building in Tenants Harbor, Maine. It had been in her family for years, and it was filled with memories and history, six generations of them, a jumble of contradictory, conflictual, tragic, and happy memories. JOURNEY TO SAFE HARBOR covers three generations of a family where the personal and emotional sacrifices made in the name of mission, commitment and duty, aiming ‘to do good in the world’, ended with unintended tragic consequences for their children. It is about a professional family, educated, religious and idealistic, but did they understand love? Scott shares a narrative of her collected records, her experiences, and her journey. It narrates the saga of the origins of her family’s trauma in Tenants Harbor, how it played out in India and on the south side of Chicago. She toggles between Tenants Harbor, India and Chicago to show the interweaving of three eras and how they resulted in the family’s fragmentation and great tragedy. The memoir chronicles the journey of healing through the ups and down of life resulting in Scott, family and the community reconnecting. Elizabeth Jacks Scott taught American and World history for five years, practiced psychotherapy and family therapy in New York City for more than two decades, ran grief groups at St. Bartholomew’s Church for seven years, and cofounded Hudson Valley Weddings at The Hill. She is an ordained interfaith minister and a clinical social worker. Scott lives with her husband in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and the coast of Maine. Combined with her husband, they have four children and eight grandchildren.

Book excerpt: She thought she’d found Mr. Right—until it all went murderously wrong—in this true-crime tale with “all the elements of a grand tragedy” (Library Journal). Elizabeth Lochtefeld was a glowing, charismatic, and driven businesswoman who’d built a small fortune in Manhattan before settling into a new life in one of America’s most elite resort communities. In her mid-forties, she planned to dedicate the rest of her life to charity—and to marry and finally start a family of her own. When Lochtefeld met thirty-seven-year-old Tim Toolan—a tall, handsome Columbia graduate and Wall Street ace who’d achieved a VP position at Smith Barney—she thought she’d found Mr. Right. She told friends she was in love. She hinted at marriage. But soon she saw past the golden-boy facade, finding a deeply troubled man with a history of erratic behavior—a man given to violent mood swings who’d been fired from his job after trying to steal an $80,000 Roman bust from a Park Avenue antiques show. And two days after she ended the affair, she lay dead on the floor of her Nantucket cottage . . . “Poignant [and] truly chilling.” —Kirkus Reviews Includes photos

Book excerpt: From Vanessa Harbour comes Flight, a middle-grade historical fiction novel about a Jewish boy and a Roma girl leading a group of horses across mountains to escape Nazis during WWII. Everyone deserves to be free and feel safe, even horses. The year is 1945 in Austria, where an SS officer and some of his men visit a stable, determined to find the Jewish boy they believe the owner is hiding there. Luckily, just as Jakob—the boy in question—is about to be found, the men are called away...but not before the SS officer shoots and kills Jakob’s favorite horse. It’s very clear then, to Jakob and his guardian, that they are no longer safe there. Traveling through Nazi territory with that many horses will be incredibly difficult and risky, but the alternative—staying—is even more dangerous. After an orphaned Roma girl named Kizzy joins the pair, the three of them travel across woods and mountains in the hopes of finding safety. Along the way are life-threatening obstacles and an injury that could prove to be deadly. Inspired by a real mission, this is a story of courage, adventure, friendship, and dancing horses.

Book excerpt: - A private tour through the history of New York written by two city guides with decades of experience, bringing to life the glory, misery, ambition, drive, and energy of the city that never sleeps - A journey through time, with a stellar collection of archival photos, stereographs, vintage maps, classic baseball cards, and posters It is often said that you can't take the same walk twice in New York. Its history may be short compared to that of European cities, but it is also a history marked by lightning-fast change. This pictorial journey into the history of New York City starts from the small town that began as New Amsterdam in the 17th century, tracing the unbridled expansion of the 18th century and waves of mass immigration of the 19th and 20th centuries. The authors, both experienced NYC tour guides, explore iconic districts like Times Square, Harlem, Wall Street, Central Park, Ellis Island and the Bronx, bringing the past and people to life through engaging stories and images. An inspired selection of archival photos, prints, vintage maps, stereographs, and ephemera make this publication, with its elegant, gilt-edged finish, a fascinating visual homage to the vibrant city that is New York today.
