Praise for the previous edition: “A major new history.â€â€”Miami Herald “A jewel.â€â€”Tallahassee Democrat “The standard reference.â€â€”Orlando Sentinel “As interesting as it is informative.â€â€”Naples Daily News “Florida is as much a state of mind as it is a slice of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. . . . Florida could become a place of civic texture if we understand its past. Professor Gannon’s book is a good place to begin.â€â€”St. Petersburg Times “Incorporates much of the new scholarship that has appeared over the last twenty or so years; much of the best of it exploring the lives of African-Americans; Indians; and Florida’s common white folk. . . . For those interested in seeking out the multifaceted aspects of their native or adopted state; this is the place to start.â€â€”Tampa Tribune

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Required for school but enjoyed the read!By LeslieHistory class book list. So much of what I had learned in high school has been forgotten or not even touched on. I found this very interesting and the author made the reading very easy and understandable.1 of 6 people found the following review helpful. extremely boring. I won't be using this again in classBy miniguinea73extremely boring. I won't be using this again in class. it focuses on a very interesting period of our history that gets little attention; but discusses latin america purely from an american point of view. there is no voice other than the US present. the students did not enjoy this at all; and class discussion was not productive at all.
