Pioneering Palm Beach

Palm Beach’s transformation from wild sawgrass and swamps into a tropical paradise began with pioneers Fred and Byrd “Birdie” Spilman Dewey, whose vital role shaped the region’s early progress. Authors Ginger Pedersen and Janet DeVries reveal the Deweys’ remarkable journey from frontier life to mingling with Palm Beach’s elite, drawing on Birdie’s autobiographical writings to tell this previously untold chapter of Florida’s history.
