Book Description
Excerpt from An Interesting History of Florida and the Famous Tarpon Springs, the New Health Resort of Florida Just before the Spaniards under Cortez began their great conquest of Mexico in 1520, the French sent out an expedition for the purpose of appropriating some of the newly discovered land of America to itself. Ponce de Leon with his expedition, discovered the land of the Floridas in 1512. He landed on the east coast near the St. Johns river where St. Augustine now stands, and named the country Florida, on account of the rich and fertile growths, which everywhere met his gaze. It was at this place where he afterwards founded the Huguenot colony, which spread and flourished in these parts for upwards of 40 years; and of whose persecution afterwards by the Spaniards, history furnishes another thrilling accouut of the religious terrors of the 16th century. In 1520, when Cortez opened the conquest, of Mexico, Luke Vasques de Ayllon in the same year, equipped two ships and sailed from Hispaniola for the contemptuous and shortsighted purpose of capturing and placing the innocent natives into bondage. Arriving on the east coast, he invited the Indians on board, and when secured, he set sail for St. Domingo and sold them into slavery. In 1527, Charles V., of Spain, commissioned Pamphilo de Narvaez to conquer Florida. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Tarpon Springs, the South's Mediterranean port city named for the abundant fish found off its coast, is hailed as the "Sponge Capital of the World." The oldest town in Pinellas County, Tarpon is located along the Anclote River where the river flows into the Gulf of Mexico. History in this coastal community dates back to the 1800s with the arrival of the first settlers. The advent of the railroad and the building of the Anclote Key Lighthouse brought many positive changes to the area; wealthy Northerners flocked here creating a winter haven while numerous fishing vessels plied city waters. Enterprising entrepreneurs boosted the city's economy and reputation with the harvesting of sponges. The Greek immigrants who came to the area to continue their traditional trade of sponge diving forever enriched the city's cultural makeup with their families and customs. Today, the progressive community continues to be a shining example of historic preservation and cultural variety. Images of America: Tarpon Springs celebrates the fascinating history of "the Venice of the South" and invites readers to experience this breathtaking locale through words and vintage photographs. Rare images, including scenes of the early sponge divers, businesses, residents, festivals, and celebrations, abound in this unique volume. Natives, visitors, and history buffs alike will delight in this visual tour of a picturesque and historically interesting community.

Book Description
With its origins at a small fishing settlement near the mouth of the Anclote River, Tarpon Springs began upriver at a bayou with a freshwater spring where the tarpon jumped at the doorstep of a father and daughter. A traveler from Nassau decided to stay and marry A.W. Ormand's daughter Mary, who legend tells named the town Tarpon Springs. It was from this humble beginning that a city was carved out by pioneering spirits who loved the natural beauty, abundant fishing and hunting, rich timberlands, and the best of Florida's sunshine and tranquility. In 1887, the town became the oldest city of the Pinellas Peninsula, the Orange Belt railroad arrived, and the Anclote Key lighthouse was built. City founders employed immigrating Greeks to enrich the sponging industry with their deep sea diving suits. African Americans were employed by the fisheries and lumber mills. A true diversity of cultures, races, color, and creeds was intertwined.
