Review by Mitchell Green:
Both a devoted resident of Belle Glade and a noted local historian, the late Lawrence E. Will wrote this collection of stories, told "cracker style," about the area around Lake Okeechobee's southeast quadrant. You'll learn how Belle Glade became Florida's "white gold" capital, a city grown from sugar cane fields. My favorite story is about the city's wandering post office. You'll read about a mystery farm and enjoy a trip from Belle Glade to West Palm Beach before turnpikes, expressways or paved roads. Follow up with a visit to the Lawrence E. Will Museum at the Belle Glade Library. Will's many South Florida history books are available next door at the Chamber of Commerce.… (meer)
