Publisher's Synopsis
With over 200 fascinating photographs, On Lake Worth illustrates the rich history of the city from its beginning. See its growth from a small settlement around Lake Worth, named for Major General William Jenkins Worth, to a bustling community alive with energy. Join author Beverly Mustaine on a fascinating
photographic tour that chronicles the community's past. Discover the city's story, from the early
pioneers and their initial movement to the area to
Henry Flagler and his dream of turning Palm Beach
into a great winter resort. Included are rare photos,
most of which are previously unpublished, which
highlight significant events throughout the area's
history. Images of Flagler's hotels in the early pioneer days, the 1928 hurricane that devastated the area, and scenes of World War II, as seen from the shores of Lake Worth, are revealed in this collection.
