Legacy of Green - The Making of Florida's Magnificent State Park System

The magnificent system of state parks that resulted encapsulates all that is distinctive and special about the state of Florida, to be preserved indefinitely for the continuing enjoyment and edification of successive generations. It represents, by any measure, a truly extraordinary achievement. This 300 page book chronicles the birth and growth of Florida's state park system to 2010. by Ney C.
