Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tourists' and Settlers' Guide to Florida No pretense is made that a "Guide to Florida" is a new or novel publication. There have been guides almost beyond number, guides issued by land companies and other corporations, which guided the traveler to certain sections and ignored all other portions of the State. Most commendable enterprise without doubt when viewed from the company's point of view, but worthless to the invalid or tourist who sought health or recreation in the one Florida. From the tourists' and settlers' stand-point no thorough, reliable work of the kind has ever been issued. There has ever existed a distinct want of such a publication, and this book is offered to supply this need. It is not designed to furnish rapturous descriptions of Florida, appropriate as they always are, and great as is the temptation whenever the subject is broached. The man who contemplates either visiting the State or becoming an inhabitant thereof, it is hoped will find his natural questions either answered beforehand, or himself guided to the proper parties for obtaining correct information. Facts and figures, dollars and cents, will abound. Expense of travel, cost of living, and all practical questions are anticipated and answered. The book will be issued annually hereafter, and it may safely be promised will become more and more valuable to both the traveler and the business man as the years go by. The fact that the author has often visited every portion of the State and repeatedly written up each section, and has her knowledge from personal observation and close inquiry, will, it is hoped, add value and interest to the book. Moreover, it is Florida up-to-date containing the latest statistics and situations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
