Highway dream in Southern Florida from coral rock
In a Miami article by Arthur Brisbane from the era, a road project is described linking the coast to the interior using coral rock as roadbed and crushed rock mixed with seawater for concrete. The piece notes University of Miami faculty members and their tropical forestry work, plus a long digressive tour through Seminole history, Indians with many wives, and odd local curiosities while lamenting distribution and real estate chatter. It blends travelogue with surreal observations on roads, Indians, and local economy, ending with a critique of modern investment chatter.
