Book excerpt: Nestled between Palm Beach¿s exclusive South Beach rests the charming city of Hollywood, Florida. The charismatic land developer J.W. Young first envisioned this prosperous and well-appointed town in the early 20th cent., and in a few decades carved an elegant resort town from ¿a veritable wilderness.¿ This guide by local historian Joan Mickelson -- the daughter of city pioneers -- provides a history of Hollywood¿s formative years as well as a guide through the historic streets of this beautiful Florida city. From the roaring Twenties to the post-war fifties, Mickelson highlights the buildings, people, and events vital to the history of this now thriving coastal landmark. ¿A guide to the city¿s long and diverse history and its unparalleled attractions.¿ Over 150 photos.
