RadioStPete INSIDER correspondent Deb Carson gives us a sneak peek into a new book about Florida. Whether you’re a native Floridian, or new to our fair state, you will find a wealth of riches offered by Florida Humanities, especially this year as the organization celebrates its 50 th Anniversary. A crowning
achievement during its celebratory year, this extraordinary, new,
anthology is entitled “Once Upon a Time in Florida: Stories of Life in
the Land of Promises.” Endlessly fascinating, the book is a 300-page milestone anthology comprised of 50 stories and 150-plus images that are vividly rendered by some of the nation’s most acclaimed writers and scholars. This inspiring book opens more than 14,000 years ago with the first people to inhabit the peninsula, and continues through the state’s territorial beginnings, the era of slavery, statehood, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow period, and Florida’s transformation into a complex, powerful mega-state.
