| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Miami is known as one of the world's most high-paced, flashy and beautiful urban areas. Before the exclusive clubs of South Beach, Miami was an unincorporated area, inhabited by the Tequesta people and just beginning to be on the radar of European settlers who saw its potential for trade, agriculture and wealth. This book looks at people, battles and other factors influencing the birth of Miami in the late 1800s. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
