Written by Sir Ashley B. Saunders, the History of Bimini, Volume II, provides a historical account of Bimini. Known as the gateway to the Bahamas, the island is one of the 700 Bahamian islands located 50 nautical miles off the coast of Miami. Bimini encompasses 9.5 square miles and is known for its crystal clear blue waters, wild dolphins, big-game and bonefish fishing, early rum-running, and a treasured getaway for historical figures, like Ernest Hemingway and Martin Luther King, Jr. The book highlights these and other facts by taking readers on a journey that starts in 1,000 A.D. by introducing them to its earliest settlers, the Lucayan Indians, and ends with an intriguing account of its legendary location being the Lost City of Atlantis and the Fountain of Youth.
