Florida history you never knew, but need to know.

Best Review on Finding Florida T D Allman

History is a messy affair. We are raised in the Disney version of America where the bad guys always get caught and the good guys always win. If only it could be so simple. In the book Finding Florida, author T.D. Allman pulls back the veil of darkness that encompasses Florida's past. He does so without reserve or ambiguity. In a state whose history is as old as America itself, the perfect delusion has been shattered.

T.D. Allman explains that the Sunshine state was built on blind ambition, by many men and women who were never held back by moral bonds. From the British and Spanish invasions of the 1500s, to the foolish exploits of Deleon and Desoto, to present day Election frauds, this southern peninsular has been at the center of the American conversation. This one state is home to enormous cities of the future and tiny backwater towns which cling to the past in frightening ways. Travelers have altered its landscape with money and vision leaving behind vast communities as well as dead bodies. The written history has been re-crafted countless times and profited from in the strangest of ways but to this very day the oddities have not slowed one bit.

A Floridian himself, the author gives 450 pages of stunning examples of the strange effect that Florida has on people and their intentions. Fortunes have been earned and squandered, vast structures built and then destroyed by nature itself. Allman reminds us that Florida does not resemble the savage beast which we fail to tame, it is the beast and only those who respect her unusual powers will live to tell the tale.
