Virtually every month for fourteen years, Gene Burnett wrote a history piece under the title "Florida's Past" for Florida Trend, Florida's respected magazine of business and finance. This third volume of collected essays includes many from that series and many more original writings. Pineapple Press is now proud to make them available in paperback. Burnett's easygoing style and his sometimes surprising choice of topics make history good reading. Try a chapter and you'll find you've gone on to read more. Try this volume and you will find yourself going back for the previous two.
