Quick read, obscure subject

The book is a quick read about the life of South Florida pioneer Ralph Munroe and his family. For me it is interesting because I live near Ralph Munroe's homestead, now a Florida state park called The Barnacle. But to others, the story of Ralph Munroe and his family appeals on a different level. The timeless values of the man and the way they have endured in his family are something of universal appeal. This book may also appeal to sailing afficionados interested in learning about Munroe, who was an early proponent and proliferator of the Sharpie style of sailboats, as well as being the Commodore of the Biscayne Yacht Club.
