Book Description
The pages in this book contain two of the most controversial solutions to a what I see as a manmade problem in South Florida and the Florida Keys. The introduction by humans via the pet trade of non indigenous invasive species to an eco-system that is unprepared for it. This particular species if left unchecked has the potential to explode to epidemic proportions which could cause the extinction of several indigenous plants and animals that have thrived here for thousands of years. This a beginners guide to the sport of small game hunting and also a cook book which advises using Iguanas as a viable food source.

The Jews of Key West
Author: Arlo Haskell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780984331277
Category : HISTORY
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. History. 2017 Florida Book Award, Phillip and Dana Zimmerman Gold Medal for Florida Nonfiction. The dramatic story of South Florida's oldest Jewish community and a major addition to the history of this unique island city. Long before Miami was on the map, Key West had Florida's largest economy and an influential Jewish community. Jews who settled here as peddlers in the nineteenth century joined a bilingual and progressive city that became the launching pad for the revolution that toppled the Spanish Empire in Cuba. As dozens of local Jews collaborated with José Martí's rebels, they built relationships that supported thriving Jewish communities in Key West and Havana at the turn of the twentieth century. During the 1920s, when anti-immigration hysteria swept the United States, Key West's Jews resisted the immigration quotas and established "the southernmost terminal of the Jewish underground," smuggling Jewish aliens in small boats across the Florida Straits to safety in Key West. But these and other Jewish exploits were kept secret as Ku Klux Klan leaders infiltrated local law enforcement and government. Many Jews left Key West during the 1930s and their stories were ignored or forgotten by the mythmakers that reinvented Key West as a tourist mecca. Arlo Haskell's THE JEWS OF KEY WEST is an entertaining and authoritative account of Key West's Jewish community from 1823-1969. Illustrated with over 100 images, it brings to life a history that had long been forgotten.
