Book Description
Historic Shenandoah: Rediscovering Miami's Neighborhoods Site Files IV Shenandoah is the heart of Miami: Geographically central, and high and dry on a ridge. It is well-connected to Downtown and the larger metropolis by SW 8th Street, also known as Tamiami Trail or Calle Ocho. Shenandoah's population is diverse, and always has been. It is home to families of varying religions, ethnicities, languages, and economic status. Since its inception, Shenandoah has had varied housing options: apartment buildings, duplexes, houses, and garage apartments, all arranged together in harmonious streetscapes of bungalows and Mediterranean Revival architecture. The architecture in Shenandoah matters. It is climate adapted: large porches and windows allow for cross breezes and natural lighting. It is fanciful: there are arches, elaborate chimneys, clay tiles roofs, and textured coral rock. For many residents, it reminds them of places where they grew up, from old Cuba to the mid-west. It makes people happy. There is a newfound appreciation of all of the neighborhood conveniences that Shenandoah inherently possesses. Walkability. Transit access. Proximity to Downtown. Corner stores with Cafecito. Parks, schools, libraries, and churches integrated into the neighborhood. Varied housing options, from apartments to single-family homes. Beautiful historic architecture. As Shenandoah becomes more popular, it is receiving more and more attention and investment. Trees are being planted. Pocket parks created. Streetscape improvements completed. And many, many homes are being renovated for new families to move in. It is important that property owners, residents, civic associations, City staff, elected officials, and State agencies understand Shenandoah's history, so that they can make informed decisions about the future. It is our hope that this book will help all Miamians to learn more about where they live.

Book Description
For fifteen years Sue Eisenfeld hiked in Shenandoah National Park in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, unaware of the tragic history behind the creation of the park. In this travel narrative, she tells the story of her on-the-ground discovery of the relics and memories a few thousand mountain residents left behind when the government used eminent domain to kick the people off their land to create the park. With historic maps and notes from hikers who explored before her, Eisenfeld and her husband hike, backpack, and bushwhack the hills and the hollows of this beloved but misbegotten place, searching for stories. Descendants recount memories of their ancestors “grieving themselves to death,” and they continue to speak of their people’s displacement from the land as an untold national tragedy. Shenandoah: A Story of Conservation and Betrayal is Eisenfeld’s personal journey into the park’s hidden past based on her off-trail explorations. She describes the turmoil of residents’ removal as well as the human face of the government officials behind the formation of the park. In this conflict between conservation for the benefit of a nation and private land ownership, she explores her own complicated personal relationship with the park—a relationship she would not have without the heartbreak of the thousands of people removed from their homes.
