Florida's antebellum architecture reflects the state's singular history and the realities faced and enjoyed by her early citizens. Threats from Native Americans dictated that the homes of early frontiersmen incorporate in their design defensive features, and many felt the need to locate within small towns. Many planters held close family and business ties with the older, more established South, which encouraged elaborate homes that could easily fit into the plantation architecture of South Carolina, Georgia, or Mississippi. Influences from the state's two ruling countries-Spain and England-also gave way to unique design. Florida's Antebellum Homes features images of buildings that incorporate various combinations of these design features. In addition, some of the public structures shown here reflect the emerging senses of personal affluence, civic pride, and political development. Unfortunately, some of these buildings no longer exist; they fell prey to natural catastrophes, unbridled expansion, and the relentless march of Florida's exacting climate. Many, however, remain in pristine condition and invite the public to appreciate them today, much as earlier Floridians reveled in their stateliness.

Trumans "Little White House" in Key West. Most of these houses are museums now; others are restaurants or bed-and-breakfasts. This new edition is updated and illustrated with color photographs.

The state of Florida has a rich history of African Americans who have contributed to the advancement and growth of today. From slaves to millionaires, African Americans from all walks of life resided in cabins, homes, and stately mansions. The lives of millionaires, educators, businessmen, community leaders, and innovators in Florida's history are explored in each residence. Mary McLeod Bethune, A.L. Lewis, and D.A. Dorsey are a few of the prominent African Americans who not only resided in the state of Florida but also created opportunities for other blacks to further their lives in education and ownership of property and to have a better quality of life. One of the most humanistic traits found in history is the home of someone who has added something of value to society. Today, some of these residences serve as house museums, community art galleries, cultural institutions, and monuments that interpret and share the legacy of their owners.

This fascinating "sketchbook" of Florida history and culture focuses on the rural Red Hills of north Florida. Comprised of what is now Madison, Jefferson, and Leon counties, this region is home to a rich heritage that includes prehistoric people and megafauna, Native Americans, Spanish settlers, British soldiers, and Southern Plantations dependent upon the work of enslaved people. Celt and African traditions became incorporated into the Southern folklore of the area, including colorful traditions and ghost stories. Rose Knox grew up listening to stories about the Red Hills of northern Florida. In her "own backyard," an old, dilapidated antebellum mansion and one of the oldest pioneer cemeteries in the state of Florida were pivotal places of intrigue during her childhood. The Florida Historical Society Press has published her regional books Canoeing and Camping on the Historic Suwannee River: A Paddler's Guide and Old Tales of the Forgotten South in a Georgia-Florida Swamp: Paddling Okefenokee. Both works were compiled in collaboration with Graham Schorb, her husband, an outdoor guide. Her profile pieces have been featured in Florida Wildlife Magazine and in Florida newspapers. Rose is a teacher at a rural college in the Red Hills and is a native Floridian. Graham Schorb is also a native Floridian, and his many contributions have helped make this history book a reality. He assisted in searching out directions, finding historical locations, and working with his wife, Rose, on this, their third historical compilation. A few of the places in northern Florida he sought out and helped navigate to were: places of interest on the Aucilla and Suwannee Rivers; ancient ceremonial mounds; former Spanish mission sites and cemeteries; pioneer cemeteries; and antebellum mansion locations of the Red Hills.
