Letters from Florida (1879)

Letters From Florida is a collection of letters written by Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, and speaker, during his travels to Florida in 1877. The book consists of 20 letters that were originally published in The Christian Union, a weekly religious newspaper. In these letters, Beecher shares his observations and experiences of the state's natural beauty, climate, agriculture, and people, as well as his thoughts on various social and political issues of the time, such as race relations, Reconstruction, and the role of religion in society. Beecher's writing style is engaging and descriptive, and he provides an insightful and often humorous perspective on life in Florida during the late 19th century. The book is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the mindset and attitudes of a prominent figure in American history and provides a window into the social, political, and cultural landscape of Florida during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
