Miami in "Cayos in the Stream"[]
Ernest Hemingway appeared before a large gathering of the press in Miami after his victory over a German U-boat near Cuba. He then boarded a train to Washington, DC.
Miami in Southern Victory[]
Miami was not directly touched by the Second Great War, and was one of the Confederate cities that did not see United States troops until after the war was over. In 1944, Confederate guerrillas blew up a boat next to the USS Oregon while it was moored off the coast of Miami. U.S. troops seized no less than 1500 hostages who were later executed. This process led to gun battles resulting in more U.S. casualties. Some members of the Oregon crew discussed shelling the city in response but discipline held and no action was taken. The affair left a heritage of suspicion and bitterness.
Miami in Worldwar[]
