Two individuals who shaped the development of one of Florida's major urban centers When they married in 1900, Frank and Ivy Stranahan began a life together on the Florida frontier that would shape and define the development of one of the state's most sophisticated urban centers. Pioneering spirit and economic enterprise linked them to Seminole Indians, venture capitalists, and colorful entrepreneurs along the New River settlement; today they're recognized as a founding family of Fort Lauderdale and their riverfront home has been restored and designated a National Historic Landmark. Frank Stranahan came south from Ohio in 1893 to run an overnight camp on the stagecoach line carrying passengers from Lake Worth to the Miami area. He soon opened a trading post that thrived on commerce in pelts, plumes, and hides with Seminole Indians, who in turn purchased goods and groceries to take back to their camps in the Everglades. Stranahan's business interests expanded to include real estate and banking. An honest businessman, he became a respected political and civic leader, instrumental in the birth of Fort Lauderdale in 1911. When the Florida land boom collapsed and his bank closed, Stranahan's mental and physical health failed, and he committed suicide in 1929. Ivy Cromartie, a native Floridian, was 18 when she arrived at the settlement as its first schoolteacher and met her future husband. Energetic and articulate, she focused her activities outside the home. Besides teaching, she was active in a variety of reform movements ranging from Audubon Society efforts to save the plume birds to temperance and women's suffrage, working mainly through the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs. She is best remembered for her role as an advocate for Indigenous American rights—especially education and child welfare—primarily with the Friends of the Seminoles, an organization she established in the 1930s. Before her death in 1971 she spoke frequently about her full life to reporters and historians and was interviewed extensively by Kersey.

After killing a man in a duel, Louis Fran ois was forced to flee Florence and his privileged life of a nobleman. He started over in the French colony of St. Domingue (Haiti). He married, took on the Richard surname of his extended family, started his own family and a successful plantation. The Slave Revolt of 1791 forced them to flee. They made their way to Florida, a Spanish colony. Despite enduring the privations of pioneer life and Indian attacks, the Richards survived and even prospered. During the Patriot War of 1812, Georgian rebels devastated the area and forced the Richards to abandon their plantations. Francis Jr. returned and operated a sawmill plantation. He fathered 11 children with his slaves; educated, and provided for them all. Raising 15 children on his plantation during the "Seminole Wars," brother John Charles became the progenitor of a long line Florida Richards. While most members of the "Richard Clan" were prominent citizens, quite a few were of dubious character, and met violent deaths.

Good Bones is a story of courage, perseverance, and a pioneer family's lust for life. A historical memoir, it tells the story of Florida's expansion in the last decades of the 1800s, and of the slow arrival of true civilization in the Sunshine State during the early part of the twentieth century. In the years following the Civil War the federal government encouraged Americans in other states to risk their safety and comfort to settle the Florida wilderness. The Wrights and McPhersons were two families who answered that call. When children of those families were joined in matrimony, a legacy began which persists to this day. It wasn't easy. The early years were marked by battles with mosquitoes and a sometimes uneasy coexistence with the Seminole Indians. In those early years, the railroad had not yet reached past Jacksonville, roads were sketchy at best, and rivers offered the most reliable "highways" for travel. Land for citrus groves had to be carved from the dense subtropical forests. Survival required a determined and hardy breed of people, but despite their challenges, the pioneer families were bent on living life to its fullest. They enjoyed music, hunting and fishing, picnics, and, of course, they fell in love, married and raised families to be proud of. The strength of those bloodlines continues today in the ancestors of those pioneers who tamed the Florida landscape.

Early one morning in 1925, Hugie fell in love with a tall, brown-eyed girl as he passed her place on a cattle drive.

Their daughter retells their story from vivid accounts they gave of their childhood, courtship, early years of marriage, and struggles during the Great Depression.
