About This Item
Vantage Press, 1978. Hardcover. Good/Good. 0x0x0. Ex-library hardcover with the usual stickers/stamps/faults. Binding sound, internally clean. This enlightening history of Zephyrhills, Florida, traces the evolution of the community from 1821 to 1921. During that century-long period Zephyrhills progressed from Spanish-Indian ownership to an autonomous municipality known alternately as "The Friendly City" and "The Pure Water City." Author, Rosemary Wallace Trottman is a scrupulous researcher with an unfailing eye for the significant detail and the novelist's affinity for the "human touch." While her history is replete with important events and dates, and considers the effects of the railroad and the automobile on the community, the citizenry of Zephyrhills and their changing life-styles throughout the years are also dealt with in depth. Particularly interesting is her account of the colonial years, in which the day-to-day activities of the settlers--log-rolling, sugar-caning, etc. are described. The authoritative and charming glimpse into a vanished past makes a wonderful gift to the pioneers of Zephyrhills-and to readers everywhere.
