None Can Have Richer Memories

Distinguished historian Canter Brown Jr., combines interviews and meticulous research to preserve and convey the rich history of Polk County, Florida, in the second half of the twentieth century. “Canter Brown’s prose crackles with pulsating human energy,” writes James M. Denham, Professor of History and Director of the Center for Florida History at Florida Southern College in Lakeland. “This excellent, well-written, comprehensive study of Polk County, Florida, will inform natives, newcomers, public policy makers, or anyone else who yearns to understand the bracing—and sometimes unsettling—changes in Florida’s central heart since the Great Depression.”
