Beschreibung
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Florida has, indeed, been a land of enchantment. It first lured the red man from the more inhospitable North and he was followed by the white man. Latin contended with Latin for its mastery, and, in turn, with the Anglo Saxon and anglo-american. Its seductive shores have drawn' to it the flags of three foreign nations, and, for a few years, the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy waved in the ocean breezes that sweep across the state between gulf and ocean. For a long time prior to its purchase the United States looked upon this peninsula with covet ous eyes. To-day this most tropical of the States, by reason of its charming scenery and health-giving breezes, its bright sunshiny days in the midwinter season, its land sports and deep-sea fishing, attracts thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States each year.
