Mike McGinness and Jeff Davies put together what they say is “the definitive photographic account of the Sunshine State.” With more than 130 photographs ― many of them seen for the first time ― “Florida: A History In Pictures” offers a stunning portrait of this one-of-a-kind state. From the stone forts at St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, to the Everglades or “The Big Swamp” as it was called at the beginning of the 20th century to Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, the Fort Myers Beach arches and Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, it is all here.
