Synopsis

Perrine Slim penned stories of the area of Northwest Orange County, Florida, over a three year period from April 2009 through December 2011. His particular focus is the relationships and community of the greater Apopka area. He relates the living conditions, relations, jobs, and businesses of the people in the area from the times of the Timucua tribe through current day. Topics include slavery, turpentine production, citrus production, progress from horse and riverboat to automotive transportation, Jim Crow segregation laws and their effects, education over the centuries, and the effect of education on the lives of residents living 'below the TO&A Railroad tracks'. Slim includes local and international sports figures from the early days of segregated athletics through to modern baseball, football, and basketball programs that have grown and prospered in the Apopka area.102 interior images474 pages
