Jupiter (FL) (Images of America)

Protruding further out into the Atlantic than any other point along Florida's east coast, Jupiter has long served as a port of call for sailors, settlers, tourists, and the occasional hurricane. Before the famous Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse began sending flashes of warning to those at sea in 1860, Spanish explorers, Black and Seminole inhabitants, and early American pioneers began building their own histories there, contributing to the consciousness and pride of residents today.Lynn Lasseter Drake is the author of 'Jupiter (FL) (Images of America)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780738515786 and ISBN 0738515787.
