An enthralling example of local history at its best, Hernando County, Florida presents a "one hundred years or therebout" of eyewitness accounts through people who saw or heard about events and people like "Hub Williams the Florida Robin Hood", "Selecting a New Preacher", or "Dad's Moonshine Still". Local history always contains as many myths as truths and separating the two is the goal of Dr. Landers who has woven together in this history an enchanting picture of Indians, black and white settlers, travelers, government officials, scoundrels, and heroes. Many of the people and events described are amplified by well-chosen illustrations, maps, tables, and photos. This history is the result of a lifetime interest in and devotion to telling students and the general public about the county where the author lives and continues to collect oral histories, historical anecdotes, and forgotten family archives and memories.
Black America: Hernando County establishes the reality of African American life in the region through approximately 200 historic images, preserving the county's history for generations to come. This engaging volume bridges the gaps between the past, present, and future of Hernando County by pairing stories of ancestors' resilience with authentic photographs from the mid-1800s to today.
