Autorenporträt
This book's content comes from this authors collection of 15-volumes of Florida Land Grant Atlas books detailing all the grantees across the State - east of the State Capital. Future volumes will include the western panhandle. However, this book "mines" the information from all 15-volumes. In addition, there is a volume detailing all the Seminole Indian War forts, and freshwater Springs.
