5.0 out of 5 stars The first tourist guide to Florida, July 30, 2005
By 
Betty J. Steinshouer "Betty Jean" (Saint Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Palmetto Leaves (Florida Sand Dollar Books) (Paperback)
This is the book that started the popular rush to the Land of Flowers - Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1874 essays covering everything from picnics up Julington Creek to the mass destruction of Florida's beautiful birds for their plumage. Although Mrs. Stowe was concealing her real reasons for coming south every year from 1866 to 1884 and there were other essays too dangerous to publish in this volume, it is still a treasure trove for modern sojourners to the Sunshine State. No wonder 14,000 - 15,000 people flocked south in the first year after it was published (1875) and they haven't stopped since!

If you come to Florida and get stuck in traffic, you can blame Harriet Beecher Stowe and this book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Palmetto Leaves (Florida Sand Dollar Books) (Paperback)
An excellent addition to a historical library describing the early pre-mass tourist days of life in the state of Florida, and written by a very recognizable name author.
