Signed & Inscribed by the Author. Octavo, softbound (slick red black & white photo. illus. wrappers), 170 pp. Very Good+. From lower cover: In 1867, the famous author of Uncle Tom's Cabin relocated from Connecticut to Mandarin, Florida, to escape the pressures of her writing and to deal with personal issues. In Florida, Harriet Beecher Stowe immersed herself in programs to educate former slaves and black children. She also supervised the organization of an Episcopal church and became an early advocate of environmental protection. This examination of Stowe's Florida years reveals a little-known side of this well-known writer. What emerges is a surprising personal portrait of an abolitionist author who put words into action.

Signed by the Author. Octavo, gray cloth (hardcover), 150 pp. Near-Fine in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In 1885, America's greatest inventor, the "wizard" of electricity and Yankee industrialization, established a second home in Florida. Unlike the many wealthy turn-of-the century vacationers who descended on Florida's tourist cities to unwind and escape, Thomas Edison chose a "cow town" in the Florida outback. In the mid-1880s, he built a modest house and a laboratory under the palm trees of Fort Myers, and this "green laboratory" became a quiet wellspring of invention for the next forty years. In this first book devoted to Edison's life and work in Fort Myers, Olav Thulesius reveals Edison the nature lover and medicine man. He traces Edion's first trips to Florida for simple health reasons and then follows Edison's expanding interest in the natural world, his camping trips with John Burroughs, his opposition to the exotic bird trade for the millinery business, his fascination with sponges, and his late experiments with the hybridization of rubber and goldenrod. Thulesius also explores his relationship with Fort Myers neighbor Henry Ford and with Harvey Firestone, and the founding of the Edison Botanic Research Company of Fort Myers.
