Betty Collier - Marco Island Pioneer: Ribbons of Ibis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798557729772)

Who were the first pioneers to settle on Marco Island? Who was Betty Collier? In the 1950s, Betty Collier's youngest sons, John (Jack) Laud Collier, born aboard their schooner in 1867, and Walter Columbus Collier, born on Marco Island in 1871, were interviewed for a newspaper article and were asked about their life on a deserted tropical island, and particularly why their family settled on an uninhabited island. They both asserted that this was a question that was frequently asked, but the answer to which was never known to them. Follow the journey of William and Betty Collier from North Carolina to Cedar Key, Florida, and on to Marco Island. The reason they settled on a deserted island may become clear.
