Ashley Gang Book
Ada Coats Williams' yellow Ashley Gang Book captures the dramatic true story of one of Florida's most notorious criminal networks, whose exploits terrorized the Treasure Coast in the early 20th century. This firsthand account offers a window into a turbulent chapter of Stuart's past, when the remote coastal community was still establishing itself in the years following the railroad's arrival.
