Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. If you have an interest in Florida history, I suggest this book. Pictures make it a light read and the encyclopedia format makes it a good reference. Good coffee table book. Expanding the book and changing the title would be my suggestion to the author. Only the Seminole tribe gets more than a mention. The regional aspect makes the Timucua tribe a must, for inclusion. Writing more about the French and Spanish colonies would be other good additions. I give underdog books high ratings and a review ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Northeast Florida, the people who settled here and the towns they built, played a significant role in the development of the "Sunshine State." During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries many hundreds of plantations were established by settlers along the waterways of Northeast Florida. This book describes some of the early plantation history of this area. Through over 350 alphabetical entries, and 328 photographs and illustrations, Historic Plantations Of Northeast Florida portrays the important plantation sites and activities. It offers a glimpse at some of the events that played a role in colonial plantation life, from the government changes to Indian wars. In these pages you will read about interesting plantation owners like Joseph M. Hernandez and Zephaniah Kingsley, historic Sugar Mills at the Bulow and Dunlawton Plantations, the tragedy of the Seminole wars, and the horror of plantation slave life.
