Excerpt from Florida, Past and Present

Thirty years ago the word Florida was synony mous with mosquitoes, alligators, snakes, and In dians. As a part of this Union, it was at that time considered financially a worthless sand-spit, which had cost our Government fifty million dol lars and many lives in the almost fruitless effort to rescue it from the hands of the wily Creeks and Seminoles, who occupied the middle and southern portions of the State. Fiom the date Of Dade's massacre by Osceola's band near Brooks ville, in December, 1835, which sent a thrill of horror throughout the length and breadth of our land, to the surrender of Billy Bowlegs in 1858, a period of nearly twenty-five years, war was waged by our Government under the leadership of Gen erals Worth, Scott, Harney, Taylor, and their sub ordinates, with the result above stated.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to a Florida teeming with alligators, mosquitoes, and a history as rich as the landscape itself. Through vivid storytelling, the author chronicles the transformation of Florida from a wild frontier to a burgeoning hub of agriculture and tourism. We meet intrepid pioneers like Madam Julia Atzeroth, who braved swamps and Seminole raids to carve out a life in this new land, and experience the challenges and triumphs of early settlers who paved the way for the state's flourishing future.
