Florida always seems to be in the news, and it's usually not for positive reasons. From gator attacks, to Disneyland shenanigans, to political fights at retirement communities, there's always something to put Florida in the national spotlight. In fact, it's been that way for a while. In this sometimes hilarious sometimes disturbing work of history, author James D. Wright takes the reader on a journey through Florida's history, from before the arrival of the Spanish clear through to the 21st century. Learn all about the quirks that make Florida such a uniquely weird place. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
