In the nineteenth century, uncompromising individuals fought duels and plotted political upsets.

In the early twentieth century, black Bahamians founded a town of their own, while railway engineers went up against the U. S. Navy in a bid to complete the Overseas Railroad. When Prohibition came to the Keys, one defiant woman established a rum running empire that dominated South Florida. Join Laura Albritton and Jerry Wilkinson as they delve into tales of treasure hunters, developers, exotic dancers, determined preservationists and more from the colorful history of the Florida Keys.
