Take an exciting trip back in time, from the days when Florida was a backwoods swamp in the early 1900s, through its transformation into a vacation paradise in the 1950s. Join award-winning editor and veteran postcard collector Liz Coursen as she uses museum-quality postcards – many featuring vintage views of Gainesville and Alachua County — to illustrate how Florida progressed from ox carts to Streamliners, and from alligator-infested waterways to bathing beauties cavorting on white-sand beaches.
