Book Description
A resident of Saint George Island explores the talents and motivation that led a poet and evangelist to purchase the island in 1916. The charismatic William Lee Popham was a gifted speaker and enthusiastic writer who used his romance novels as equity to purchase the island. Sales of lots were slow until he hit upon a way to provide income from oystering. William Lee began to acquire land and leases to oyster bottoms but suffered ups and downs due to rivalries and accusations of fraud. Read about a man who was the dominant force in developing Apalachicola and Saint George Island from 1916 to 1936! The book is replete with photographs and illustrations, and contains a hilarious chapter about Sex on the Beach, not to mention more about oyster reproduction than you would ever want to know!

Excerpt from book: put into a vessel filled with molten lead, and finally beheaded.' ' He suffered at Diopolis [another name for Lydda] in the city of the Persians upon April 23rd.' As no one can for a moment imagine that a man, so learned as Vincentius, would quote from the apocryphal history condemned by Pope Gelasius; we must conclude, then, that there was some genuine history, or histories, of St. George, like that of Simeon Metaphrastes, then in existence.
