tìm một người mới thật là khó. cuối cùng em đã tìm thấy anh và đã để người em yêu thương coi trọng cướp đi anh ..... à không ..em không được nói anh là của em bởi vì anh chỉ là ảo ảnh trong em em không thể nào chạm tay vào anh ...và chỉ biết đứng nhìn anh hạnh phúc với người em thương em yêu anh nhiều nhưng em không thể nói ra vì vậy em chỉ có thể đứng đằng sau anh và chúc anh hạnh phúc ...một mình em đau em nghĩ là đủ..em không muốn cả 3 người đều đau anh à ...ngượng cười quay lưng đi chỉ tin vào một ngày..một ngày nào đó thôi anh sẽ nhìn em và cười thôi chỉ mong một điều đó tôi điều duy nhất em mong đợi ..đó là anh.........

Title: Florida Maps Then and Now: Fort Lauderdale
Date of film: 2014
Physical descrip: color; sound; original length: 2:44
Local call number: State Archives of Florida Exhibit Collections
General note: Welcome to Florida Maps: Then & Now, an animated map series from the State Archives of Florida. This episode highlights historic maps of Fort Lauderdale.
Welcome to Florida Maps: Then & Now, an animated map series from the State Archives of Florida. This episode highlights historic maps of Fort Lauderdale.
Lounging green Iguanas, discarded pets imported from another land, bake in the sun, contrasting against the white limestone rocks along the New River in modern downtown Fort Lauderdale. This map, from the confirmed Spanish Land Grant of Lewis Frankee, shows the area at a much earlier time, when the winding river was frequented only intermittently by Seminole Indians and shipwreck victims.
William Cooley was one of the first American settlers to arrive in the area after Florida became a territory of the United States in 1821. He served as the local Justice of the Peace, established a farm, and operated a trading post along the river that came to be known as Cooley Hammock. Several members of Cooley’s family were victims of the violence that marked the outbreak of the Second Seminole War. On January 4, 1836, Seminole and black warriors attacked the Cooley family, killing his wife and children. The attack reportedly came as a result of Cooley’s inability to bring to justice white settlers that murdered a prominent Seminole leader.
Later in the war, the United States Army built a fort on the site and named it Fort Lauderdale. Seminole families took up residence near Cooley Hammock following the end of the Seminole Wars. Among the first white settlers to arrive in the area after the Seminole Wars was Frank Stranahan. He established a trading post on the New River and traded with the Seminoles. Seminole families visited Stranahan’s store to trade animal hides for goods they could not produce themselves, such as firearms, ammunition, cloth, and metal pots.
The arrival of Henry Flagler’s railroad in the late 1890s set the course for the rapid development of the area in the early 20th century. In the 1920s, work began on nearby Port Everglades. Engineers dug an entrance channel that opened the New River to large, oceangoing vessels. Today, the port welcomes cruise ships and commercial freighters from around the world. Several historic structures remain intact today in downtown Fort Lauderdale, including the New River Inn, built by Philemon Bryan and Edward T. King in 1905, and the Stranahan House, built in 1901 to replace the original trading post.
