Second in a series of fiction and nonfiction about Florida by
legendary writers who came here. From Audubon in 1834 to Dave Barry
in 1990.
Learn 200 quick, painless history lessons in one thoroughly
researched book. An indispensable guide for Florida students,
newcomers, and old-timers alike.
Florida has a long and complex and very interesting history,
but few of us have time to read it in depth. So here are 200 quick
looks at Florida's 10,000 years of history, from the arrival of the
first natives to the present. The distilled version is packed with
unusual and little-known facts and stories.
The story begins in March 1865 as Union troops closed in on
Richmond. Jefferson Davis tries to establish new capitals in
Danville, Greensboro, and Charlotte and is ultimately captured in
Georgia. Secretary of War Breckinridge dons the style of a pirate
to escape. Secretary of State Benjamin disguises himself as a poor
farmer--with his gold sewn inside his clothes. Nearly 60 primary
and secondary sources were used to research this dramatic history.
The book contains sketches made by an artist who accompanied Davis
on much of the escape, and includes maps of the escape route.
