By weaving together these diverse threads of Amelia Island's past, with spectacular images by acclaimed photographer Benjamin Galland, Doster aims to offer readers an unparalleled understanding of the island's pivotal role in the broader history of Florida and the early formation of the United States. From the cultural clashes between Indigenous populations and European colonizers to the strategic military significance of this Atlantic coastal outpost, Doster’s book provides a fresh and illuminating perspective on an often-overlooked corner of American history. Ultimately, Palms, Priest, and Pirates celebrates the remarkable resilience and enduring spirit of Amelia Island, a place whose dramatic saga from its earliest occupation to the present has remained largely untold—until now.
