Treated only anecdotally in past histories and the island commonly referred to as \"Unionist,\" this book is the first to present a comprehensive account of \"Cayo Hueso\" during the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom its quick military occupation after Florida declared independence, increasing numbers of troops, new forts built, and deportation of citizens accused of \"treasonable utterances,\" Key West became an embattled community of those who quietly wished for independence and those loyal to the occupier. But despite the military crackdown and patrols, secret communication with Florida officials on the mainland, and blockade running, continued unabated. This is the story of Key West during the Civil War.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 266\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52752564420941,"sku":"9781947660663","price":43.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/QUNLMmlrVzRHZUZWTWtZWFJlY3FpQT09.webp?v=1762926674","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/key-wests-civil-war-rather-unsafe-for-a-southern-man-to-live-here-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
