Octavo red cloth hardcover photo. illustrated endpapers160 pp. Very Good with bookplate; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Miami the “Magic City” was just a settlement near Fort Dallas in Dade County in the early 1890s when Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad and to start a city at the new end of the line. Flagler’s surveyors began work in 1896 -- and Miami was off to a good start. Yesterday’s Miami is a photographic chronicle of the city and its sister communities Miami Beach Coral Gables and others. It shows the rapid progress made in such a short period and portrays vividly the pulsating life of the city. Nixon Smiley tells a fascinating story of Miami and its people in the introduction and explanatory captions -- a story of the mighty and the powerless the saintly and the crooked the famous infamous and unknown ones. From Fort Dallas to Lemon City to the establishment of the city of Miami the book covers all important events in its history -- early settlers World War I the Boom the bust Depression World War II and beyond; early railroading aviation automobiles; politics education sports even the first Orange Bowl game entertainment religion etc.; and all other human activities that make a city a living organism; without which a city would be no more than an accumulation of wood brick and stone. Richard Hoit’s photographs supplemented by many other pictures from various sources form the core of this book which conserves over two hundred and fifty images of the past that otherwise might have been lost or moldered in files and archives inaccessible to all but a few. For the native Yesterday’s Miami is a nostalgic record of the past; for the newcomer or tourist it offers the historical background necessary to understand the soul of a city. E.

Barry Goldwater a five-term United States Senator from Arizona 1953-1965 1969-1987 and the Republican Party's nominee for President in the 1964 election is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. His landslide defeat to Lyndon Johnson which also brought down many other Republican candidates opened the door for Johnson and a Congress dominated by Democrats to pass the Great Society programs. Goldwater returned to the Senate in 1969 but his role as a leader of the conservative movement had been transferred to Ronald Reagan. In 1974 Goldwater successfully urged President Richard Nixon whom he called "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life" to resign at the height of the Watergate scandal. Goldwater retired in 1987 and was succeeded in office by John McCain. Acquired from the Goldwater family. Warner Books hardcover books
