The book “Newtown Alive: Courage, Dignity, Determination” by Rosalyn Howard Ph.D. and Vickie Oldham M.F.A. is available for purchase from Barnes and Noble.
Find out why early settlers came to the tiny fishing village, how they made a living, and why they organized a self-sustaining neighborhood. The book also describes their religious and social traditions, medical and military history and their emphasis on education. Whether you are new to Sarasota, a frequent visitor, an educator, historian or a longtime resident trying to connect the dots in your family tree, we believe the personal stories of courage, dignity and determination of Newtown and Overtown residents will be enlightening and inspiring.
