Biographical/Historical:     Fort Jefferson was built in the Florida Keys in 1847 to protect the southern coastline of the United States and the lifeline of commerce to and from the Mississippi River. During the Civil War the fort began to be used as a prison for deserters and other criminals, most notably Dr. Samuel Mudd, who was sentenced to life in prison for conspiracy in the assassination of President Lincoln. The site eventually became part of Dry Tortugas National Park.
Summary:     This collection contains three photographs of historic sites in the Florida Keys (Monroe County). One image is of a Spanish Cigar Shop called "Havana Cigars;" another photograph is an exterior shot of the "Consul's Home." The third photograph consists of three illustrations that depict Fort Jefferson's increasing stages of deterioration.
