Presidents in Florida: How the Presidents Have Shaped Florida and How Florida Has Influenced the Presidents by James C. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a well written book mostly covering presidents and their contributions in Florida. It’s a mosylt an over view with tons left out. For what it is, it is well worth reading and then looking further for more information.
I was bugged that, unless i missed it, nothing was mentioned about the Rod and Gun Club in Everglades City, a popular presidential hangout. Also the cursory run at the ’68 and ’72 Republican and Democrat National Conventions, which, in my opinion, are the biggest impact a presidential election has had on Florida. Besides those two, there’s much that should have been included but, i guess, page count prevented inclusion.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
