Key West, Fla.: Frank Johnson, Jewelry and Souvenirs, 1916. A Very Good Soft cover. Very Good.
A bit of soiling, foxing and wear to wrappers; small stain on the fore edge of the rear wrapper. No flaws to the interior. Title page, leaf of text, & 16 Albertype [i.e. collotype] plates from photographs, some with multiple images. 13.5x18.5 cm (5¼x7¼"), original wrappers with bird's-eye view, ribbon tie.. Rare and captivating view book - One copy in Institutional Holdings at the State library of Florida.
Unique with many of the photos Bird's Eye Views including of the Island tip on the cover; the Florida East Coast Railroad Terminal, U.S. Naval Station, Post Office, and Custom House; Wireless Station. Other photos include Hotels, Naval Yard, Overseas Rail Line and Bridges; Convent of Mary Immaculate; Light House; Sponge Market.
Background:
Key West was relatively isolated until 1912, when it was connected to the Florida mainland via the Overseas Railway extension of Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway (FEC). Key West prospered as trainloads of wealthy from the north would come to stay on Key West, at the exclusive resort Flagler had built.
Historically, these photos record Key West immediately after Flager brought a boom and before Key West experienced the severe Hurricane of 1919 on September 9. More than $2 million of damages were incurred by the category 4 hurricane.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
