Excellent selection of historical tales, with a refreshing emphasis on enterprising women of the state. I particularly enjoyed the bits on Marjory Stoneman Douglas (savior of the Everglades), the legendary Seminole leader Betty Mae Tiger, and the "tired housewife from Micanopy" who saved the Ockalawaha River.

Short, fast, easy read about some interesting people and events in Florida history. Some are pretty well known, some obscure. Decent non-fiction fluff.

I picked this book up at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse gift shop. It is a fun collection of stories about Florida’s past.

I picked up this book on vacation....a collection of historical stories from Florida. Quick read, mostly stuff I had heard already.
