Signed by the Author. Octavo, red boards (hardcover), gilt letters, map illus. endpapers, 236 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Drawing upon ght lore of the true cracker, here is everything you thought you knew about Florida. Sit back with the wit and wisdom of a tenth-generation native as he tells the real history of the Sunshine State that you didn't learn in school. Covering five centuries of people and events, Vic Knight's Florida spins the yarns that give Florida his unique character. Knight dispels many historical myths, starting with how the name was chosen. Most people, Floridians and foreigners alike, would claim that "Florida" came from a Spanish word for flowers. Actually, Florida is named for Pascua de Flores, the Spanish name for Easter Sunday, the day Ponce de Leon first set foot on Cape Canaveral's sandy shore. Another historical piece of lore describes how the Johnson administration nearly removed five hundred years of history in just thirty minutes when they changed the name of Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy. Other points of trivia include the story of the hotel where the future Duchess of Windsor waitressed; a few blossoms of a Japanese plant that created a nightmarish choking of the major waterways; the land boom towns that failed and those that survived when railroads came through; and how, for a brief period of time, Florida was its won country. Vic Knight has compiled stories from a variety of respected sources, but the telling is all his. He brings a stylish humor to each story with a flair for highlighting the funny, but true folklore of the state. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, Americana, U.S.-iana. bslic.…
