Synopsis

Charming, offbeat travel stories from a roving Florida quest.

Follow two explorers as they chase the sunshine state’s legends, chasing birds, alligators, and tall tales alike. This edition captures their candid, humorous voice as Florida unfolds through trains, steamboats, and river towns.

In vivid vignettes, the narrator describes the thrill of the hunt, the quirks of hotels and hotels’ patrons, and encounters with local color along the St. Johns River, in Enterprise, and at St. Augustine. The tone blends travel anecdote with sly humor, painting a portrait of Florida that’s playful, sometimes cautious, and always entertaining. The book invites readers to see the state through the eyes of two men chasing stories as eagerly as they chase game.
  • Delightful, character-driven travel tales set in early Florida.
  • Warm, dry humor and practical anecdotes about boats, hunting, and local scenes.
  • Vivid scenes of river towns, hotels, and the people who populate them.
  • A nostalgic, reader-friendly voice that keeps the pace lively and accessible.
Ideal for readers who enjoy memoirs with a humorous travel bent, and fans of classic Florida lore told with a light, observant touch.
