The Busch Gardens was once a world-famous attraction that rivaled the Tournament of Roses with peak attendance of 1.5 million in 1915. It has since been subdivided into homes. Author Michael Logan spent eighteen years researching for this book; interviewing people, gathering stories and visiting the surviving remnants. Produced as a large, landscape type coffee table book, Original Busch Gardens is over 200 pages and includes many rare images, maps, timelines and more.
