This book tells the story of the state’s ascent; its extraordinary people, great moments, and feats of architecture. From the earliest European maps of the region to superb photography of its most famous sights, the book picks out images that best represent key moments in the development of Florida as we know it today. It includes photographs of the state’s best loved towns, cities, and locations, such as the Florida Keys, Everglades National Park, Cape Canaveral’s Kennedy Space Center, and Walt Disney World, including vintage images of St. Augustine’s?the United State’s oldest permanent settlement?the old seaport of Key West, and the first car rallies along Daytona Beach.
