Autorenporträt
In Port Orange, authors Harold D. Cardwell Sr. and Priscilla D. Cardwell have gathered a wide variety of visual documents, from early sketches and maps to vintage photographs and postcards, that powerfully illustrate the singular history of the region. Drawn from the archives of the Port Orange Historical Trust, the Halifax Historical Museum, the Florida State Archives, and numerous collections belonging to longtime residents, these striking images capture not only the fascinating natural history of the region from prehistoric times to the present day, but the determined spirit of those who have made Port Orange their home.
