From dust jacket: Mark, Twain wrote "Roughing It' about the California gold rush; Rex Beach became the historian of the Klondike. Now Kenneth L. Roberts, well-known journalist and writer, has done the same for the land of palms, sunburnt necks, and the largest real-estate profits ever known. He has visited all the important spots, recorded all the important facts -- and kept his sense of humor. With him we share all the excitement of the great rush -- of overflowing trains, crowded steamers, motorists headed southward at the rate of two a minute. Then the drama of the great developments -- Miami, Coral Gables, Hollywood, Boca Raton -- involving the currycombing, manicuring, carving and reshaping of thousands of acres; islands ringed with palms rising from the bottoms of lakes, cities, harbors and bays, stately hotels towering like triumphal arches at the end of broad avenues. Here is a fine, colorful picture of one of the great rushes of history -- a story with a thrill, a laugh or a gasp to every page.
