I read this slim volume mostly because I received a free copy. It is a curious little memoir. The author, an Englishman, wrote of his experiences as a U.S. Army hospital steward in the early part of the Second Seminole War (1835-1836). Writing about ...more

Priceless Florida by Ellie Whitney

This book is the size of a phone book and seems determined to squeeze as much information as possible. Florida's ecosystems are grouped into five chapters, discussing what they are like and why, and what are the main native plants and animals found t ...more
