Book is in like new shape, an excellent read and I'll probably need to buy another one as mine will soon be "dog eared and highlighted".
Colorful tales of Florida's pirate & treasure past....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The stories told in this small gem of a book (118 pgs.) are engrossing and entertaining from cover to cover. You'll meet such characters as; pirate Jose Gaspar a.k.a "Gasparilla" (who was not just a myth around whom a yearly parade revolves in Tampa), Homer Ludwig --- an eccentric old guy in the Keys who found pirate treasure around the turn of the century and a Greek sponge diver in Tarpon Springs named Alex Pappadakus who accidentally stumbled into an undersea fortune. To name just a few.... More than simple folktales, these stories are true and well written. Author Jack Beater seems like just the type of guy who could liven up any party telling tales of Florida's rich pirate and treasure past.
