Description

With more than 130 photographs — many of them seen for the first time — Florida: A History in Pictures offers a stunning portrait of this one-of-a-kind state.

 

From the stone forts at St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, to the Everglades or “The Big Swamp” as it was called at the beginning of the 20th century to Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, the Fort Myers Beach arches and Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, it is all here! Historic Florida offers us a window into the past and you can almost feel the warmth on your face and taste the oranges fresh from the grove.

 

Mike McGinness and Jeff Davies have put together the definitive photographic account of the Sunshine State.
