“Curiosity and intelligence run deep in Ronald W. Kenyon’s writing. He’s a tireless world traveler with a real knack for looking at wherever he is and finding reasons to be fascinated by it.” Frank Cerabino, columnist, The Palm Beach Post The cast of characters in these seventeen stories of fascinating Floridians includes the living and the dead, the famous and the infamous—murderers, imposters, royal pretenders, a supermarket cashier, a housekeeper, a homeless former crack addict rescued by an anonymous benefactor, the woman who was elected chief of the Seminoles, a Jordanian Cordon Bleu chef, a chess champion who founded a city and the first two Jewish senators. Even John Lennon makes an appearance. A road trip across the state results in the shocking revelation that, in the 1920’s, Seminole children were prohibited from attending either “white” or “colored” schools, but ends with an unexpected surprise: the Seminole Tribe of Florida, grown wealthy by the profits of its casinos, now owns the worldwide Hard Rock Café chain Some of the essays involved extensive research, often sparked by an apparently trivial observation; thus the story of the phony count and the fake countess begins when I noticed a sign with an inappropriate ampersand and leaps around the world to France, the former Belgian Congo, Yemen, the Emirate of Sharjah and Tangier. The people in this book are Floridians, all, and some were even born in the Sunshine State. Yet most are transplants like me, native-born Americans migrating from elsewhere in the United States or immigrants fleeing Hitler’s Germany, Castro’s Cuba and the poverty of Guatemala. Each of them—each of us—possesses Real Stories to tell, and in this book the reader will discover some of them.

Florida Book Awards, Silver Medal for Florida Nonfiction Florida Historical Society Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Award "Compelling stories of people whose ideas about themselves changed as they struggled to understand new people and circumstances. . . . A rich tale of cross-cultural divisions and mutual disappointments."--Journal of Southern History "Through an examination of Spanish, French, and English written accounts, Murphree contends that despite their differences, Florida’s European colonists all developed common attitudes towards the region’s native populations."--Florida Historical Quarterly "Race and racism simply did not arrive to the shores of Florida. Instead, this volume demonstrates how racism emerged out of the frustrations and failures of the Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Britons to control the land and people of Florida."--Andrew K. Frank, author of Creeks and Southerners: Biculturalism on the Early American Frontier Constructing Floridians explores the ways racial identities developed in peninsular Florida and beyond during the 300 years before the founding of the United States. Daniel Murphree shows how the peoples of Spain, France, and Great Britain and half a dozen Florida tribes--the Guale, Calusa, Timucuans, Apalachees, Creeks, and Seminoles--created understandings of one another and themselves. Murphree argues that the Europeans, frustrated by their inability to "tame" the peninsula, blamed the natives for their problems and that barriers between the Europeans and the Indians hardened over time. His focus on race and identity opens up a rare perspective on the story of Florida's past.

This book presents the multidisciplinary results of an extensive underwater excavation in north Florida. This yielded the most complete results of interactions between early Paleoindians and late Pleistocene megafauna, in a rich environmental context in eastern North America. The data provides fundamental insights into "the Peopling of the Americas" and "The Extinction of the Megafauna". An excellent color photo section expresses the uniqueness of this project.

Everything Florida Dreamers (or the Merely Curious) Need to Know about the Sunshine Mega-State If you're thinking about moving to Florida, or maybe you're just looking for a warm, sunny spot to get away from the ice and snow, or even if you're only curious about what's going on down here in America's only subtropical mega-state, you should read this book. It will give you an entertaining and informative explanation, from an economist's perspective, of why Florida has become the nation's 3rd most populous state, and of the challenges that lie ahead. As a bonus, the Kindle version of Florida Dreams has been written and designed specifically for the Kindle, and is chock full of intriguing hyperlinks, shedding even more light on all things Florida. The amazing rise of the Florida economy, and its emergence as a mega-state with the country's 4th largest economy, is the main theme of Florida Dreams. The secret to Florida's success, besides the climate, is the limited-government, low-tax, business-friendly environment and policies that have been in effect for years under both Republican and Democratic governments. This is in sharp contrast to what has been going on in the other two high-tax, big-government mega-states, California, and New York, as is amply revealed by many interstate comparisons. The in-migration of retirees from the north and the immigration of Hispanics from Latin America, especially Cuba, are the main source of Florida's population growth. Retirees, Hispanics, African-Americans and Indians are all making unique contributions to the Florida economy. Florida Dreams chronicles what they're doing and how they're faring. The state's two best known cities, Miami, and Orlando are being shaped differently by new Floridians, as well as tourists and snowbirds. Each has its own story and distinct flavor. Miami has become the unofficial capital of Latin America since the arrival of Cubans fleeing Castro. Orlando has been transformed by Disney into a giant theme park drawing tourists from all over the world. Even "The Villages," Florida's playground for seniors, has its own winning story. The resumption of space exploration back to the moon and on to Mars from Cape Canaveral is a very exciting development for Florida. It promises to reinvigorate NASA, spark an expansion of aerospace industries on the Space Coast, and bring more tourists to the Kennedy Space Center. The real estate meltdown from 2006-2012, which traumatized Floridians, is over and a solid recovery is in progress. Some mega-development projects, like the American Dream Mall in Miami and the Tampa Waterfront, are getting underway and will contribute greatly to a resurgence of construction. Tourism, aviation, aeronautics and defense, financial services, real estate, construction, transportation, energy, food processing, and agriculture are the backbone of the Florida economy. Companies like Disney, Lockheed Martin, Publix, NextEra Energy, and Carnival Cruise Lines are all innovative industry leaders. But agriculture is in decline. Oranges and citrus have been hard hit by hurricanes and citrus greening. Big Sugar is dependent on government support for its survival and is situated in an environmentally fragile zone, near what remains of the Everglades. Environmental challenges, like the red tide, global warming, sea level rise, and hurricanes, threaten the rise of Florida. Our precious ecological treasure, the Everglades, is in the crosshairs. The national political conundrum every election is whether Florida will be a red or a blue state. The 2018 mid-term election results provide fresh insight into this always controversial question. If these snippets pique your Florida Dreams, you are just a click away from the full scoop.
