Egmont Key: A History

Sent it to my son in, who is working in England, for his birthday.He go it a month later. BUT he loved the book. We spent a lot of time their doing clean up in boy scouts. Good memories.

I found this to be an excellent book to learn about the history of Egmont Key with much of the information the authors obtained from a woman who grew up on Egmont and knew exactly what had occurred over the years. The authors also obviously did much research into the very early years, 1800's, to provide information for the reader. I first saw Egmont in the mid 50's as a boy while fishing with my dad during a family vacation, after having moved to the area in the late 50's it was not until the late 70's that I discovered what I had seen as a child. Over the years I became interested in the history of the area I lived and Egmont was high on the list of curious places. Well now thanks to Donald and Carol Thompson the authors my curiosity has been mostly satisfied I now need only to go there and walk around. Excellent book if you to, are curious.

If you love the Gulf Coast, this is a must read. Take it to the beach with you!

Given as a gift to my better half history buff. Really enjoy the history!
