Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 464 pp. Fine in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear and slight sunning to spine. From dust jacket: It was a wild and beautiful land along the western coast of what would become Florida, and it beckoned early man with its lush landscape and warm sun. Prehistoric peoples surveyed the land from their mounds and left their unnamed history in the earth itself. When the Spaniards appeared on the New World horizon, they found a native people who were fiercely independent and not easily conquered. It was a trait that characterized the men and women who would follow in the centuries to come. Entrepreneurs such as William Bunce built up a lucrative fish ranch operation only to see it destroyed more than once in the wars between Indian and American forced. Planters such as the Gamble family came to expand their plantation business and even borrowed against the gears on their sugar mills and the crops in the ground to be able to plant another year. The Seminole Indians sought shelter in the depths of the Everglades, led by such powerful chiefs as Holata Micco (known to the white man as Billy Bowlegs), who was determined to remain on the land he and his people had come to know as home. Soldiers who fought the Indians and later the Union soldiers found themselves at the mercy of Florida's worst traits -- yellow fever, dysentery, bad water and crowded camp conditions. Yet many of them were drawn to the land and settled in the area after the wars. The military leaders left a permanent mark in history. They varied from impetuous to humanitarian. Major Francis Dade led his men to their deaths on a road through the swamps, Captain John Casey -- determined to deal fairly with the Indians despite the government -- fought for equity until his tubercular condition resulted in death. Slaves, too, played an important part in early-day settlement. Valued as property and plantation workers, they helped civilize the land. Some, like Luis Pacheco, an educated black, were not so lucky. Pacheco survived Dade's Massacre only to be accused as a traitor. Families left their northern homes for health or wealth. John and Eliza Webb and their children sailed out of New York into the wilderness, living off the land until they found the beautiful secluded spot a Spanish trader had told them to seek out. There were daring and reckless men -- such as Hiram McLeod and Frederick Tresca who braved the Gulf of Mexico in an open boat to aid in the escape of Judah Benjamin, Confederate Secretary of State. And there were men on the darker side -- such as Charlie Willard, a member of the infamous Sarasota Assassination Society and who, law or no law, was determined to get away with another frontier murder. The story of the men and women of early western Florida is told by historian Janet Matthews in meticulous detail -- the hardships and trials, wars and battles, the events that marked the early settlement of Sarasota and Manatee and made them the unique communities they are today.

Quarto, red cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, ix, 246 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: No place is more gifted with a glorious land and climate than the region called Sarasota. The original peoples dramatically declined after Europeans "discovered" the Floridas. American settlers, soldiers, and Circus Kings -- each age redefined Sarasota by imposing contemporary technology, hopes, dreams and laws. Tales of exploitive Conquistadores and the native people that the Spaniards named Tocobaga and Calusa, preceded the 18th Century arrival of diverse people who generically were called Seminoles. As part of the Territory of Florida, Sarasota attracted land-hungry American citizen-settlers whose 1840s immigration signaled the deportation of the Seminoles, whose federally assigned lands enticed settlers who also relied on the land for farming, hunting, growing citrus and cattle. But under the law only citizens could acquire private title to frontier homesteads. The 1880s brought massive drainage of the Kissimmee River valley and Lake Okeechobee and transferred 4 million acres to private ownership. A British corporation laid out the Town of Sarasota. Four decades of vast acquisitions brought a railroad, coastal development, and the City of Venice. Celebrities like John and Charles Ringling and Bertha Honore Palmer dredged and filled, built highways and bridged the bays. They also helped establish the cultural patterns that characterize the enviable lifestyle of today's Sarasota County. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, U.S.-iana, Americana, Sarasota. islic.
