Karen's Books .Of
all the St. Augustine historical books, I sell more of Karen Harvey's
(especially her St. Augustine pictorial history), than any one …
and we stock many titles. The
information in all of Karen Harvey's books gives us the chance to develop
characters to interweave with historic interpretations. We recommend
her books to our guides as a primary source of historic material so
they can provide a more interesting and informative presentation. .With
a combination of historic subject matter like light keeper's lore and
Karen Harvey's wonderful energetic writing style you can't miss with
Daring Daughters or any of her books. .Karen
Harvey's contribution toward the preservation of the history of the
Minorcans of Florida is found in her books St.
Augustine and St. Johns County: A Pictorial History and
Daring Daughters. Oldest Ghosts, St. Augustine
Haunts is a delightful book for those who want
to read about sightings here in the Oldest City. Her books not only
educate the reader -- they entertain. St. Augustine and St. Johns County: A Pictorial History Karen's
pictorial history of St. Augustine and St. Johns County was the first
broad stroked presentation of photos and stories of almost all the families
descending from the New Smyrna colonists. As a Minorcan and historian
I was thrilled to see the coverage. I have to admit I also enjoyed Oldest
Ghost which includes my tale of the paranormal. Harvey's
first effort at recording St. Augustine's rich past has become a classic
for anyone interested in St. Augustine's developing history. It is a
must read for everyone seeking knowledge of the city - both past and
present. Daring Daughters The
actions of these courageous women help shape the history of St. Augustine
… It is a must read for all interested in St. Augustine, Florida
and women's history. This is
a book full of intrigue … there is a hint of the supernatural in
the chapter about daring daughter Abbie Brooks with a "mystery
still left to be solved."
The contents
of this volume represents the first published results of the (Historic
St. Augustine Preservation Board) survey and one of the few histories
of St. Augustine that speaks about decades which in this Ancient City
are often considered modern times. The
survey out of which this book grew was the first serious look at the
historic architectural treasures of St. Augustine beyond the "same
old, same old" handful of colonial buildings. Mining the pages
of Karen Harvey's work will enable you to really appreciate the richness
of our built environment. Oldest Ghosts Karen Harvey's
Oldest Ghosts: St. Augustine Haunts comprises a fascinating collection
of ghostly encounters in the nation's oldest city. Its often firsthand
accounts evoke the sense that you are listening directly to local folk
narrating their own unique, hair-raising episodes. The guests
on our tours are intrigued by Oldest Ghosts as it features actual
ghostly experiences by tour guides and guests alike as they hear the
stories of St. Augustine's most notorious former residents. Karen Haravey
creates a "Realness" to the old stories and their characters
as you read about recent occurrences experienced here in St. Augustine.
.Florida's
First Presbyterians weaves together the lesser known history of the
pioneer Presbyterians of 1824 with the better known story of the grand
sanctuary in which we worship today. It ia an excellent way to look
deeper into the history of Memorial Presbyterian Church.
