Tallahassee is a "capital city" in many ways, epitomizing the dynamic quality of the State of Florida in its evolution from a small settlement to a thriving agricultural town to a present-day metropolis. The story of Tallahassee and Leon County is a story of people - men and women, black, white, and Indian, farmers, entrepreneurs, educators - visionaries all, who individually and collectively inspired others to work toward fulfilling Tallahassee's promise. Historians Mary Loiuse Ellis and William Warren Rogers and photographic archivist Joan Perry Morris remind us ". . . there must be a cognizance and appreciation of our past . . . " and in Favored Land they have portrayed an area aware of its heritage, alert to the needs of the present, and prepared to meet the challenges of the future. This is a volume to be treasured by anyone who has ever called Tallahassee and Leon County home.

Florida is a story of astonishing growth, a state swelling from 500,000 residents at the outset of the 20th century to some 16 million at the end. As recently as mid-century, on the eve of Pearl Harbor, Florida was the smallest state in the South. At the dawn of the millennium, it is the fourth largest in the country, a megastate that was among those introducing new words into the American vernacular: space coast, climate control, growth management, retirement community, theme park, edge cities, shopping mall, boomburbs, beach renourishment, Interstate, and Internet. Land of Sunshine, State of Dreams attempts to understand the firestorm of change that erupted into modern Florida by examining the great social, cultural, and economic forces driving its transformation. Gary Mormino ranges far and wide across the landscape and boundaries of a place that is at once America's southernmost state and the northernmost outpost of the Caribbean. From the capital, Tallahassee--a day's walk from the Georgia border--to Miami--a city distant but tantalizingly close to Cuba and Haiti--Mormino traces the themes of Florida's transformation: the echoes of old Dixie and a vanishing Florida; land booms and tourist empires; revolutions in agriculture, technology, and demographics; the seductions of the beach and the dynamics of a graying population; and the enduring but changing meanings of a dreamstate. Beneath the iconography of popular culture is revealed a complex and complicated social framework that reflects a dizzying passage from New Spain to Old South, New South to Sunbelt.
