The Conch Tales: Florida Keys History with Brad Bertelli, Volume 3
Volume 3 is filled with eight stories, as only Brad can tell them. It includes a 16th century tale about a shipwrecked Spanish boy who washed ashore in the Keys and lived with the Calusa Indians for 17 years. A Conch Tale is all about Strombus gigas, the queen conch, Conch culture, and everyone’s favorite micro-nation, the Conch Republic. Before it ends with A Jimmy Buffett Tribute Story, there are stories about dog-sized deer, sponge pirates, the No Name Pub, the conch fritters at Alabama Jack’s, a bat tower, and so much more. Dig in; it’s his best collection yet.
