Об электронной книге

A seminal investigation into the history of Florida’s “City of Five Flags”—illustrated with period photos, maps, and sketches. Pensacola, Florida, was a postbellum boomtown that offered the promise of prosperity to potential newcomers and long-time residents alike. Pouring a Round of Pensacola’s Past divulges the hidden past of a city steeped in mystery and local lore. From German immigrants to backwoods country folk, Pensacolians were as diverse as they were prosperous, with a penchant for alcohol production and consumption. The money flowed freely in Pensacola, and so too did the booze. But behind this facade of industry and revelry lay secrets of historical significance, secrets waiting to be uncovered.
