A propos de cet article

Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 189 pp. Fine in a Fair just jacket that has been reinforced with cello tape. From dust jacket: From Jacksonville to St. Augustine, from Key West to Cross Creek, roving Miami Herald reporter Nixon Smiley is familiar with every highway and hidden back road, and with the places and personalities that have played their part in the colorful history of Florida, his native state. Not a travel guide in the conventional sense, this book is rather a theoretical trip around the Florida peninsula, conducted by a student of history and human nature. Through personal interviews and his first-hand research, Nixon Smiley has added a new dimension to the lives of such matchless characters as Henry Flagler; Harriet Beecher Stowe; Thomas Edison; Sadie McLain, the Ox-Woman; architect Addison Mizner, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. The fiery Minorcans, Mrs. Fuller's water hyacinths, Fort San Marcos, the Celestial Railroad, the "Millionaires' Club" at Boca Raton, the Singing Tower, and Sexton's "junk mountain" -- all belong to the heritage of this unique and fascinating state. They come to life as never before when described by the author in the intimate, informal style that has made him a favorite of newspaper readers for so many years. Says Mr. Smiley: "The eighteen titles in this volume are built around real places and real people, together with my impressions after nearly a quarter-century of traveling about the state. If I have written with enthusiasm, it is because I have enjoyed my experiences in seeking out the interesting and picturesque and writing about them for newspaper readers. I sought to take them to the scenes and share with them what I saw and felt. This book I have written with the same feeling.
