Full course description
Revisit frontier Florida with vignettes about moonshining, fifth Sunday sings, and ghost stories/folklore. As early settlement came to Florida largely via the Armed Occupation Act and the Homestead Act, life was often rugged survival. Learn about Civil War veterans recruited for a Union Colony by Captain Jeffries (Zephyrhills); a pristine, formal Southern center of government (Dade City); and cracker cowboy lifestyle (Wesley Chapel).
