About the Author

In Venice in the 1920s, author Gregg M. Turner has combined detailed captions with a wonderful collection of historic images that illustrate the creation of the city of Venice during the height of Florida's land boom. Showcasing vintage photographs, advertisements, and other memorabilia, this visual retrospective brings together valuable artifacts from the Venice Archives and other sources to tell the story of a city in its infancy, the unique story that belongs to Venice.
