Synopsis
On the southeast coast of Florida in the 1880s, a quaint little community was nestled along the tranquil waters of the St. Lucie River in a wilderness of tropical beauty, one of the region's last frontiers. As lucrative pineapple crops and the commercial fishing industry began to flourish, trade boats brought necessary supplies, and new settlers arrived on river steamers. With land available for homesteading or for sale at $1.25 an acre, the small village soon to be known as Stuart would become a mecca for innovative, hardworking young men seeking business and financial opportunities. By the dawn of the 20th century, the railroad had been established, and the town, forged by the fortitude of early pioneers, thrived, eventually becoming a beautiful, friendly incorporated city.

About the Author
Alice L. Luckhardt, a native Floridian, historian, and genealogist, has collected and compiled rare photographs with interesting stories that document the life and times of Stuart's early residents. These efforts, which include images from the archives of the Stuart Heritage Museum, Elliott Museum, and vast private collections, will thus preserve a permanent legacy to these industrious and daring pioneers.
Review
"Take a trip back in time to some of Stuart's most cherished sites through a local author's new book.
Published on Sept. 26, "Images of America: Stuart" by Alice L. Luckhardt showcases our picturesque community in the early 1900s, when our little riverside town began evolving into the scenic city it is today.
The photos in the 128-page book highlight old landmarks, including the Stuart welcome sign and the St. Lucie River Yacht Club, along with snapshots of Osceola Avenue and more.
A native Floridian and historian, Luckhardt assembled rare photographs paired with captivating tales that document the lives of Stuart's earliest settlers. She pulled from the archives of the Stuart Heritage Museum, Elliott Museum and expansive private collections." Stuart Magazine
