Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual, richly illustrated guidebook details Florida's historic pioneer and cracker villages, describing the homes, work-ways and folk-ways of the states early settlers, through preserved and tangible objects and structures. Across the state, dedicated local historians and community groups have carefully preserved and moved 19th- and early 20th-century structures, including both homes and workplaces, to specially created villages in order to display the lives of Florida pioneers. The tools, houses, farms, gardens, barns, sugar and turpentine mills, churches and schools that are gathered into twenty separate sites are described here, for the first time in a single volume. Through the rich collections of household utensils, mills, and structures, the visitor can appreciate the details of the everyday life, work, hardships, and recreation of past generations of Floridians. The book is an indispensable handbook and guide for the casual or dedicated historic tourist as well as for parents and teachers seeking to expose young people to the vanishing lifestyles of Florida's pioneers. Contact information, hours, special events, and detailed descriptions of each structure at the sites provide the casual or dedicated visitor with both practical facts for arranging trips, and the specific family histories of the pioneers who built and lived in the homes.

Book Synopsis A Florida Pioneer by : Rebecca Weiss
Download or read book A Florida Pioneer written by Rebecca Weiss and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Florida Pioneer is a book about the adventurous life of Josef Henschen, Swedish immigrant to Florida in the 1870s. Henschen was a young medical student in Upsala, Sweden when, in 1871, he was asked to recruit and bring over a large group of Swedish laborers to Florida. The group he brought went to work at Henry S. Sanford's plantations in Seminole County. There the Swedes founded the New Upsala settlement, and many Swedish descendants in central Florida have their roots in this colony. Josef fell in love with Florida and stayed there for nearly sixty years, until his death in 1930. He became one of the four financiers of the Orange Belt Railroad, and he gave the city of St. Petersburg its name. This book contains many of Josef's letters and paints a fascinating picture of Florida pioneer life. Gary Momino, Professor of History at the University of South Florida, calls A Florida Pioneer "An extraordinary document...a historic treasure."
Book Synopsis The Legacy of the Florida Pioneer "Cow Hunters" by : Nancy Dale
Download or read book The Legacy of the Florida Pioneer "Cow Hunters" written by Nancy Dale and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Florida pioneer cow hunters gave birth to the cattle industry. Florida, discovered by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in the 1500s, left behind cattle that roamed the peninsula hundreds of years. In the 1800s, new settlers gathered-up the scrub cattle and bred them with their herds. As cracker whips snapped, cow hunters rounded-up their herds and drove them by the thousands to coastal markets on the old cracker trails. It was a dangerous passage. The legendary cow hunters are todays ranchers. This book is about the past and the future of ranching in Florida as a new generation takes over the reins with some heirs choosing another profession and selling the family ranch. I hope the reader will reflect upon the valuable lessons these ranchers reveal about history and survival.

Book Synopsis Gaters, Skeeters And Malary by : Judge Ellis Connell May
Download or read book Gaters, Skeeters And Malary written by Judge Ellis Connell May and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man on the eve of his departure for Florida in the 1880’s would be met with something like the following from his elders: “Well, ye prob’ly won’t git back. Them there bad men’ll kill ye, er the ‘gators’ll eat ye, er the skeeters’ll give ye malary an’ that’ll kill ye.” Undaunted, and lured by the vast realm of unexplored territory to the south of him, Ellis Connel May struck out with the same resolve that had prompted his forefathers to pioneer the West a century before. He was twenty-four years old when he first arrived in Citrus County, there to begin a career which took him in successive stages from work as a common laborer to the legal profession, culminating finally in his election to the Florida House of Representatives. All the courage, the humor and the romance of pioneer days come to life in these tales. They are told with a vividness of detail and a warm gusto that carries the reader along. For every American who would know the glory of our country’s heritage, here is a flavorful slice of authentic American folklore. “Most interesting. One who has spent so many years in public life...will have many interesting incidents to relate and colorful situations to describe. Such books have always invited the interest and attention of a wide circle of readers.”—R. A. GRAY, Secretary of State, Tallahassee, Florida “Judge May is a respected patriarch of his profession and a dean of Florida judiciary. I can think of no one better qualified to draw on the richness of his personal experience in relating recollections of a pioneer judge...An interesting contribution to this field of literature.”—JACK F. WHITE, County Judge, Pinellas County, Clearwater, Florida “It is most gratifying to me and to thousands of others that Judge Ellis C. May has written this book....This volume may be read from the standpoint of history, sociology and genealogy.”—GEORGE A. DAME, M.D., Director, Florida State Board of Health

How did a poor Japanese immigrant transform himself into one of south Florida's most generous millionaires? He bowed to the earth, gave thanks to the Florida moon, and grew pineapples! Here for the first time in book form is the inspirational story of George Morikami, a true Florida pioneer. In the early 1900s, young Sukeji "George" Morikami lived happily with his family in a quiet Japanese fishing hamlet. But when his true love's parents refused to let him marry her, he was crushed. He left to find his fortune in America, never to see the Japanese moon again. Penniless and unable to speak English, George arrived at Yamato, an upstart farming colony in what is now Boca Raton. George's dreams of earning enough money to return home, buy his own land, and claim his beloved would never be realized. Destiny had other dreams--American dreams--in store for George Morikami. Today, his legacy lives on at the beautiful and unique Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
