In 1768, Scottish physician Andrew Turnbull arrived in Florida with more than 1,200 indentured servants. He and his partners dreamed of establishing a plantation settlement that would make them wealthy. Despite some successes, New Smyrna was not the financial windfall they had hoped for, and after only nine years, the settlement failed. Disgruntled workers appealed to East Florida governor Patrick Tonyn, who granted them their freedom. Many of the now free settlers took residence in St. Augustine. In the succeeding years, New Smyrna has seen Civil War skirmishes, the addition of Beach to its name, a merger with Coronado Beach, the rise and fall of the rail industry, and a marked increase in local and out-of-state tourism. The World s Safest Bathing Beach is no longer a local secret."Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Robert ReddPublisher: Arcadia Publishing Library EditionsPublished: 09/26/2016ISBN: 9781540200259Pages: 130Weight: 0.91lbsSize: 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d
