“From Pines and Palmettos:
A Portrait of Largo, Florida”

more than pines and palmettos.
Capture the spirit and flavor of a by-gone era through the eyes and words
of those who carved a thriving city from those meager Southern flatwoods.
Don’t miss an opportunity to own this wonderful hard-cover book. It’s
destined to become a treasure for generations. |
