Legend has it - and
Legend has it - and historians dispute - that the pirate Jose Gaspar gave it it's name by holding his female captives on a barrier island off the coast of Southwest Florida. Pirates or no pirates, there is no denying the almost mythical lure of Captiva Island, Florida's alabaster beaches and tropical island ambiance. But is that isolated tranquility being overrun by a new dynamic - affluence gone wild?
The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.
