Beechers, Stowes, and Yankee Strangers

Modern Florida - a world of tourists, retirees from the North, and subtropical agriculture - began at the end of the Civil War among a group of Yankee reformers including author Harriet Beecher Stow, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and her brother Charles, who lived in Florida between 1867 and 1885. Written with the action, atmosphere and insight of a good novel, this book tells the story of the group and of their designs for a postwar Florida.
