Riassunto

Modern Florida began among a group of Yankee reformers at the end of the Civil War, including Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and her brother Charles who lived in Florida from 1867 to 1885. This book tells the group’s story—and their designs for a postwar Florida—with the action, atmosphere, and insight of a good novel.
