For most people, today's Florida means palm trees, beaches and a big Mouse, but there's another, more timeless Florida; of century old inns with winding staircases and elaborate gardens; of forests of live oak, pine, and palmetto, where the only sounds to be heard are the crickets and the wind. Come travel the backroads of the Sunshine State with David Warner where you'll meet famous characters and find wonderful new places to see, and important new evetns to understand.

Memoirs of a Floridian,
By
This review is from: Vanishing Florida: A Personal Guide to Sights Rarely Seen (Paperback)
This book seemed more like a Floridian native's memoirs and interests more so than a off the beaten path travel guide as I was expecting.It was interesting. However may not be the type of book you are anticipating.

It's David Warner's Florida - and the rest of us are welcome to it,
By
This review is from: Vanishing Florida: A Personal Guide to Sights Rarely Seen (Paperback)
"Vanishing Florida" might as well be sub-titled "A Tour of the Sunshine State's best Honky-Tonk Bars." Author David T. Warner resembles the late Ernest Hemingway in looks, tastes and literary talent; and his Florida is a Sunshine State-full of hard-drinkin' Good Ole Boys and the women who love them. Warner is from an old Florida family: His grandfather was Senator J. T. Butler and his cousin was High-Sheriff Jim Turner of Levy County. (Warner also wrote a biography of Sheriff Turner.) And "Vanishing Florida" is clearly a labor of love. Each of us has his or her own Florida, and this is David Warner's Florida - and the rest of us are welcome to it.
