Florida: Theme Issue

by Margot Ammidown, James Findlay, Joel M. Hoffman, et al.

What is Florida? Where does its image come from, and what is involved in the selling of that image? The myths and realities of Florida unfold in these 17 essays documenting the history and culture of the Sunshine State from 1875 to 1945. Since the time of Ponce de Leon, who sought the fountain of youth there, explorers, entrepreneurs, inventors, and visionaries have viewed Florida as a place where dreams come true.
