In 1840, twenty-three-year-old George Long Brown migrated from New Hampshire to north Florida, a region just emerging from the devastating effects of the Second Seminole War. This volume presents over seventy of Brown’s previously unpublished letters to illuminate day-to-day life in pre-Civil War Florida.
This book collects previously unpublished letters written by a merchant in north Florida before the Civil War, offering a view of the region''s transformation to a market economy due in part to its increased reliance on slavery.
