Query: Wow!

An excellent introduction to Florida whether you be 96 or 6 years old! Especially if you've come from outside of the state and think you've come to "paradise". Here Smith has well strung together the many events that brought Florida to where it is today. Along with presenting characters that are very much like like the real life pioneers and carpetbaggers that help put our state together.One of the admirable parts of his endeavor was to start with the main characters crossing into the state from Georgia and then to travel the family to south Florida and the treks back and forth to Punta Rassa. This is written very well. Those who know the history of Florida will find this an acurate portrayal. Others might want to follow the map that accompanies the book.Do yourself a favor and enjoy the history, heritage and culture of Florida while reading a sweeping adventure!
