FLORIDA'S PAST

Virtually every month for fourteen years, Gene Burnett wrote a history piece under the title “Florida’s Past” for Florida Trend, Florida’s respected magazine of business and finance. The first volume of collected essays proved so popular among book readers that this second volume and a third have been published. Burnett’s easygoing style and his sometimes surprising choice of topics make history good reading. Try a chapter and you’ll find you’ve gone on to read more. Try this volume and you will find yourself looking for the other two.

"These free-wheeling narratives have life, and together they are compelling stories that form the fabric of early Florida." —Florida Historical Quarterly

"Burnett is a skillful storyteller and writer. Each of the individual stories stands on its own base, but taken together they present a mosaic of the real Florida of earlier years." —LeRoy Collins, former Governor of Florida

"Skillful writing, thorough research and a keen sense of what is of historical consequence. Whether discussing martyrs or murderers, tycoons or dolts, Burnett is thoughtful and fair-minded. What's more, he is also exceedingly entertaining." —Tampa Tribune
