Palmetto Country

Descriptions of Florida ,its characters and folklore were excellent.Race was overblown as was magic and several other sections . Overall ,the book was good.

This is a book selection for my Florida book club. It is reputed to be the quintessential book on Florida folklore. If you are a Florida history and culture buff, buy this for your collection.

Stetson Kennedy was a super-hero at catching the essence of Florida's culturally diverse population. Reading Palmetto Country as a research tool gave me a greater understanding of who we were then, and what we have become.Unlike imaginary characters, the people he wrote about were real, and through his words, they live still.

Promptly delivered. Excellent read. The best presentation of Florida history I have seen.

I purchased this book to learn more about the history of Florida. I got so much more about the state than I imagined. Easy reading. Good book.

Pretty good book. I am a Native Floridian and this book offered a lot of info. I did think there would be more of a story base to the book, but I don't regret reading it non-the-less.
