In Everglades National Park (Images of America), co-authors James A. Kushlan – writer, ornithologist, educator, and conservationist – and Kirsten Hines, wildlife photographer, celebrate the park’s 75th anniversary. Every year, a million visitors experience its alligators, crocodiles, Florida panthers, anhingas, roseate spoonbills, and egrets. While there they also hear stories of the indigenous Tequesta, Spanish and British colonialists, pioneer settlers, and Mikasuki-speaking Native Americans – and the soldiers who sought to expel them. In A History Lover’s Guide to Florida (History & Guide), author and historian James C. Clark traces the state’s long history from Pensacola to the Florida Keys. After all, decades before the Pilgrims, the Spanish celebrated Thanksgiving in Florida, and centuries before the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York, the holiday was celebrated in St. Augustine, where urban renewal was well underway when the Jamestown settlers arrived.
