Product Description
by John Marc Carr (Author)
From fashionable Las Olas Boulevard to Fort Lauderdale s historic downtown, explore many of the city s most haunted sites, the people who lived and died there, and the ghosts that dwell within.
Fort Lauderdale is famous for more than spring break,
Snowbirds, and baseball. Known as the Venice of America,
the city boasts a rich history, including a 1567 Jesuit mission
and three forts that followed, battles waged between settlers and native tribes and the advance of the Florida East Coast Railway in 1896. Today the forts are gone, the battles have ended, and the railroad only provides freight service, but the ghosts remain. Author John Marc Carr, founder of Fort Lauderdale Ghost Tours, leads readers along the historical New River Intracoastal Waterway, visiting several of the city s most significant landmarks."
