Beth Brickell
In William and Mary Brickell: Founders of Miami and Fort Lauderdale (The History Press, $19.99), Hollywood writer and director, Beth Brickell, has uncovered the history of this dynamic couple who worked alongside Julia Tuttle and Henry Flagler to found Miami and Fort Lauderdale. This never-before-told story reveals both disappointment and triumph, as these two pioneers clashed with Flagler and John D. Rockefeller during the robber baron days of the oil industry, and finally tamed the wilderness of South Florida.
