It really is a sibling book to their "Eerie Florida" volume, it covers new ground.... so you should pick up all of their books.
There is a lot going on with this one.....
A couple of cities have uncovered ruins in the state that kinda change everything. Legends relating to older civilizations are covered.
As a fan of history, I got a lot from this book too... it is far from a book just covering folklore. I found that there was a fort in Florida that, during the Civil War, did not get taken by the CSA. Another Civil War battle I did not know about is brought up too! Geronimo's forced adventures in Florida are covered. The authors write about the tragic deaths involving the Apollo 1 crew too.
Some stories link the establishment of parks to very strange stories and crimes. One involves a hollow earth cult, and another involves a serial killer.
Like I said about their other books, the stories are quick reads and to the point. These would be great books to pick up before your next trip to Florida!
