Having Fun, Wish You Were Here! An Illustrated History of the Postcard in Florida

Come take an exciting trip—a trip back in time—from the days when Florida was a backwoods swamp in the early 1900s through its transformation into a vacation paradise in the 1950s. Join award-winning editor and veteran postcard collector Liz Coursen as she illustrates how Florida progressed from ox carts to Streamliners, from alligator-infested waterways to bathing beauties cavorting on white-sand beaches, using museum-quality postcards—many featuring vintage views of Gainesville and Alachua County—to tell the tale.
