Tales From South Florida

William Cooley and The New River Massacre

June 26, 2024 Bill Monty Season 1 Episode 21

Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

From Key West to Tampa, William Cooley was one of the first and most influential settlers to Florida. When he finally settled in the New River Settlement in what would become Fort Lauderdale  he made his fame and fortune in farming, wrecking and politics. But one judicial decision would lead to death and terror for his friends and family.
Take a TALK down Memory Lane as I recall The New River Massacre. Another of the Tales From South Florida.
