"Florida: Past and Present" by Samuel C. Upham is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the development and characteristics of Florida, with a particular focus on the Manatee region of South Florida, detailing its climate, soil, and agricultural potential. Upham provides insights into the state’s tumultuous history, from its Native American presence to European exploration and settlement, positioning Florida as both a place of natural bounty and historical significance. At the start of the book, Upham discusses Florida's early reputation, which was largely defined by its association with exotic wildlife and frequent conflict, particularly with the Native American tribes. He reflects on notable historical figures such as Ponce de León and Hernando de Soto, tracing their explorations and the challenges they faced. The author highlights the transformation of Florida from a sparsely populated and often violent frontier to an area recognized for its agricultural opportunities, celebrating its climate and the health benefits it offers to visitors. This opening chapter sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Florida’s past and present, illustrating the author’s affection for the region and its potential for future growth.
