This was a great book to introduce some of the history of Key West through a series of profiles. It helped to explain the somewhat complex vibe of the area which has both progressive LGTBQ and conservative Florida vibes and elements. I particularly enjoyed reading about how the island became the Conch Republic, how the town had the first openly gay mayor in the US, and how the gay community struggled to gain a foothold and grow in Key West.
