Details

Come take a trip - a trip back to a time, beginning when Florida was a backwoods swamp in the 1900s through its transformation into a vacation paradise in the 1950s as told by vintage postcards.

Join Sarasota author and editor Liz Coursen as she illustrates how the "Sunshine State" progressed from ox carts to streamliners, from gator-infested waterways to bathing beauties cavorting on white sands, using museum-quality postcards to tell the tale.
