This history, written with affection and respect for the area and its people, traces pictorially Venice's decline of fortune during the Depression, and its recovery and new life as the winter home of the Kentucky Military Institute. Then during World War II, the authors discuss the construction and operation of the Army Air Base. Moving to the present, the book describes Venice's selection as the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, the exodus of both the circus and KMI, and the incredible growth of the area, ending with a photographic record of Venice today, a beautiful town on the Gulf of Mexico which has carefully preserved its history while striding confidently into the twenty-first century.
