Morton Winsberg provides an illustrated catalog listing of
more than 800 historically significant buildings and sites around
the state. From Fort Clinch to Ted Smallwood's store, Vizcaya to
Pensacola's Old Christ Church, DeSoto's 1539 winter camp to the
Big Mound City earthworks, he details public and private
structures, sites, and districts from all periods of Florida's
history.
Organized by county, the book provides a historical context for
each site or structure. Winsberg also includes notes on
architectural style, designer, materials, and other details. Each
entry includes a street address or other locating information,
and many entries are enhanced by photographs or illustrations
(over 325 in all). An introductory essay on Florida’s
settlement history highlights the most active phases of its
transformation from a natural wilderness to the fourth most
populous state in the Union.
Florida’s History Through Its Places is an
essential reference for school and government libraries and an
ideal tool for self-guided tours and first-hand exploration of
Florida’s rich and varied historical legacy.
Morton D. Winsberg is professor of geography at
Florida State University, Tallahassee, and the author of Florida
Weather (UPF, 1990).
