Les Standiford, a writer and lecturer who spoke onboard a recent Sea Cloud Spirit cruise, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report, about his many books that make up a virtual history of Florida tourism. Those books include one devoted to Henry Flagler and the building of Florida’s railroads and historic hotels (which proved crucial to tourism to the state). Standiford, who is the founding director of the Florida International University Creative Writing Program, also talks about his book examining the history of Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago, a villa originally built by the Post fortune heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, who also built the first Sea Cloud sailing ship still in use today. For more information, visit www.seacloud.com or find Standiford’s books on www.amazon.com.
