illustrated history of the postcard in florida

Come take an exciting trip – a 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 illustrates how Florida progressed from ox carts to Streamliners, from alligator-infested waterways to bathing beauties cavorting on white-sand beaches, using museum-quality postcards – many featuring vintage views of Gainesville and Alachua County – to tell the tale.
