As a roving reporter for the Miami Herald from 1973 to 1995, Al Burt traveled all of Florida, studying it with the insight of a native and the detached eye of the foreign correspondent he had been.His book is like a family portrait, a loving but not uncritical view of a complex and fascinating state. Burt's portrait combines vignettes of notable Floridians, some famous, some better known locally with those of the state's many special places -- Miami Beach in the fifties (when dinner in Havana was only a $26 plane ride away)and Wakulla when it served as Johnny Weismullers Tarzan movie set.
