Amelia Island
Available now
At Florida's northeastern edge, Amelia Island carries centuries of layered, contested history — a barrier island that has been a mission coast, a harbor, a railroad gateway, and a shrimping town, with legends gathering around each chapter.
This volume follows the documented history behind the island's most memorable places and the folklore that grew up alongside it — history and legend kept clearly apart.
