Florida Sand Dollar Books – serie

This work traces the origins of the Hillsborough River, in Florida, to prehistoric times, chronicles the arrivals of the conquistadores, the missionaries, and the marauders greedy for civilizing and for treasure, and points out how contemporary ambitions could destroy the environment.

This personal and historical travelogue presents a native's view of the sunshine state. While much of the state seems younger than many of its inhabitants, it hosts all the modern demographic, economic and social problems, as well as sunshine, beaches and exotic flora and fauna.
