Book excerpt: In this third book in a series on the history of the Florida Keys, John Viele tells the true story of the Florida Keys wreckers, the daring seamen who sailed out in fair weather or foul to save lives and property from ships cast up on the unforgiving Florida Reef in the passage south of the Florida Keys, one of the most dangerous in the world, having claimed thousands of ships and lives. In the 1850s, the heyday of the wreckers, ships were piling up on the reef at the rate of nearly one a week. Salvaging these wrecks was a highly competitive and hazardous gamble of the lives, limbs, and vessels of the wreckers against an often elusive gain. From the archives of the federal court at Key West, or “wrecking court," and from contemporary letters, diaries, and newspaper articles, the author has captured the drama of the lives and times of the Florida Keys wreckers with accuracy and clarity. Richly illustrated with drawings from nineteenth-century magazines and newspapers, artists' concepts of wrecking scenes, and reproductions of old paintings and photographs, this book will fascinate sailors and landlubbers alike.

Download or read book Soaring the Silvery Summits written by Dr. Barry W. Dutton and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's meet our author, Dr. Barry W. Dutton. Near the ending of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, Dr. Dutton's volume of work and life experience had caught the attention of Charles Williams, a renowned and celebrated orator of that time. When speaking of our author, Mr. Williams offered the following insight. A great mind and soul are somewhat like a great sea--deep and filled with marvelous things. Such are the mind and soul of Barry Dutton. He is, in the truest sense, alive, and this book, a product of his mind, lives. He will take you by the hand and lead you through the scenes of the years. His incredible way with words will make sunsets linger on an ever-changing evening sky and sunrises sparkle and scintillate with new fire each glorious day. He will show you the high ranges of life's better moments as well as the deep valleys when shadows lay heavy about, and make us fear to tread. Barry Dutton will be honest. He will tell it like it is; and when he is through, you will be glad you took this voyage with one of America's premier preachers. You will know that great men and women have been hammered and honed and, in the process, have emerged the shining Better Self. The skills and gifts of Barry and his wife, Tavia, are not the products of easy years, but of persistence in spite of pain, patience in spite of perils, and progress in spite of problems.
