HIDDEN HISTORY OF FLORIDA

by James C. Clark

Published by The History Press. 1st. 2015

Nearly fine condition. Florida has a history as diverse as its residents. And much of that is still hidden. Since the arrival of the Spanish in 1513, the state has played host to strange stories. Here, author and historian James C. Clark unearths a history hidden beneath swamps and sand for years. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w photos and illustrations. 143 pages including index.

A lovely copy.
