Dan Gallagher came to the Florida Keys in 1988 after 17 years as a college professor to become a professional boat captain, environmental guide, editor, and writer. The history of the Keys, particularly the Florida East Coast Railway, quickly became his main interest. He wrote Pigeon Key and the Seven-Mile Bridge and Marathon: Heart of the Key West Extension, as well as several chapters of the Florida Keys Environmental Story, for which he served as editor-in-chief. He is chairman of the city of Marathon’s Historic Commission. Dan and his wife, Rita Irwin, live on Grassy Key.
