<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book traces the history and development of an area in North Florida called the "Forgotten Coast," that extends from St. Marks, Fl to Mexico Beach, Fl. It chronicles issues that affected its development from the time of the Forbes Purchase to today. The founding of port cities along the St. Marks River, coastal lighthouses, roads and railroads, and their importance to commerce in the 1800s are explored. The first coastal resorts of Wakulla Beach, Shell Point, Panacea Mineral Springs and Lanark by the Sea as well as methods of travel to them are presented. As the state grew, other resorts on St. James Island, Dog Island, St. George Island and St. Vincent Island were developed. The major developers and the problems they overcame to improve them are discussed. The reader is invited to explore the areas which are presented in order from St. Marks to Mexico Beach. Places of interest are noted as well as their history"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>If you are new to the Forgotten Coast or have lived here all your life, this book will provide you with its rich history.
