Vague History Ep. 5 - Ybor City | Cigars, Labor, Immigration, LARPing, & More

For the fifth episode of Vague History we’re looking at the story of Ybor City. A city founded purely on tobacco and Latin immigration. While no longer the great city it once was, Ybor City’s brick buildings still stand today recalling a time when America was a more ethnically dynamic and industrious place.

A couple of great books and sources for this video are:

“Yo Fui Uno De Los Fundadores De Ybor City” by Emilio Del Rio (e-mail me if you need some help finding this rare title)

“Don Vicente Martinez Ybor, The Man and His Empire” by L. Glenn Westfall
