O knihe

Excerpt from South Florida Frontiers

I hope each of you enjoys and learns as much as I have from this book.

Here is the story, briefly told and easily read, of our past, present, and future frontiers in South Florida. Mrs. Mike Smith, the author, has delved into the documents of the past, explored the records of the present, and done some shrewd guessing about the future. A lifelong resident who has been writing about Florida for 25 years, Mrs. 'smith has described the most important aspects of living, working, and playing in South Florida. She shows how each came to be and gives the reader a glimpse into future possibilities.

This book will give the junior high school boys and girls of South Florida, as well as other readers, a greater understand ing of life in this area. Also, all of us are sure to catch the author's contagious enthusiasm about the opportunities ahead for South Florida residents.

Chapters I and II tell in part the story of South Florida's settlement - the opening up of this frontier land. However, frequent reference to historical backgrounds of present fron tiers is made in the other eight chapters. These latter chapters deal with the facts and possibilities of South Florida life and work in relation to the sea, agriculture, aviation, climate, con struction, industry, tourism, and education.
