Opis

Museums are store places for time

History magic happens as time flows in the door of a small Florida museum. Florida author and historian William P. Ryan offers untold true stories in his first person style that is both entertaining and informative. The connection is Inventor Nicholas Tesla's experiments in space and time of 1898. Fiction? Perhaps not. New linked stories of Florida history flow before The Bunnell Boy's Club, whose aging docents discover the safety of the world may lie in their hands. Ormond hotel keeper and 19th Century author John Anderson, the infamous Andersonville Prison, Germany's Stalag Luft 17B prison, private pilots flying against U Boats, a seaman of 1564, a Lost Colony and many others all unite to tell their authentic, well researched stories. These surprisingly are connected to the shelves and books in the Bunnell History Annex.

Florida Door to Time is a must read for those interested in the Florida history..

Background: The first alternating current electric generators built illuminated the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. They were purchased by Henry Flagler to bring modern power to his now vanished Ormond Hotel once located near the small Florida village of Bunnell. Tesla's secret experiments smashed the time envelope containing "our past, the present and the future" all together. This storm in time makes it possible for visitors from the past to arrive and offer previously unknown stories. The members of 'The Bunnell Boy's Club' discover that 'saving the world' may have a price to be paid. The museum's careful folders and collections could be a dangerous door into the present, one that might even affect your life today.

Researched fact and fiction are here interlinked in this entertaining book.
