A beastly reminderof Florida’s history
“The Beast in Florida” (University Press of Florida) isn’t particularly pleasant reading, but it’s probably necessary reading.

At first glance, they’re an odd couple. He’s a veteran comedian/movie star/author of urbane fiction turned award-winning banjo player.
