Florida's history--the longest and among the most colorful of any state--has been voluminously recorded in books, monographs, newspaper accounts, diaries and journals, memoirs, and letters. Regional libraries and archives are filled with accounts of Indian life, Spanish and British settlement, and Florida's growth and development as a state. This bibliographic study is the first to bring together these materials, providing assessments of the available resources as well as discussions of specific archives and collections.
The first section of the Guide consists of fifteen historiographical essays on major works and scholarly interpretions for each period of Florida's history and for major topics. The section surveys libraries and archives that contain important collections in Florida history. Essays have been contributed by thirty of Florida's best-known historians, archivists, librarians, and other scholars. A valuable resource for researchers, students, genealogists, and the interested public, this book is an appropriate selection for reference collections in American, regional, or Florida history.

THE EXEMPLARY MIDDLE SCHOOL has been the standard in the field of middle school education for two decades. Its comprehensive coverage remains unparalleled, and the authors have included a multitude of rich, real-world illustrations of exemplary middle school practice. This Third Edition is also the most scholarly resource on middle school education on the market, with an impressive research base.

Although the Miami River was originally just 4.5 miles in length, it has been a robust working river since the incorporation of Miami in 1896. With a volume of trade exceeding $4 billion annually, the Miami River has been central to the story of Miami for thousands of years. Native Miamians lived along the river for millennia and used it as their “expressway,” as well as their source for food and water. The riverbanks have been home to exotic animals, Jesuit missions, slave plantations, Army forts, Julia Tuttle (the “Mother of Miami”), and a grand Gilded Age hotel. Even with the post–World War II rise of suburbia and the flight of residents away from the center of the city, the river has remained busy. Today, with a renaissance in central Miami, there has been a significant increase in appreciation for the role of the river in this revival and in the rich history of the city.

This book examines the rich history of a region that has hosted humanity for 10,000 years, or longer than any other part of southeast Florida. Historian Paul S. George's panoramic story of South Dade County includes an exploration into its early native populations, the first white settlers drawn to a verdant coastal ridge anchoring a hammock land rich in game, the impact of war on its development, and the coming of intrepid homesteaders who braved its pestiferous insects, its isolation, and subpar farming conditions to forge homes in the wilderness.

Upon their arrival to the south bank of the Miami River in 1871, the Brickell family guided the evolution of their namesake neighborhood into one of the most affluent and interesting places in America. The Southside quarter, which began as shoreline mangroves, quickly developed into Miami's upscale residential neighborhood. The successful people of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Louis Comfort Tiffany, Arthur Brisbane, William Jennings Bryan, and countless other magnates of the Gilded Age, purchased lots from Mary Brickell and established their winter residences in what was known as the Magic City's Gold Coast. As Miami grew, the area changed with the times, evolving from upscale, single-family residences to the Manhattan of the South.
