Bestselling author Willie Drye (Storm of the Century) will be at The Regulator Bookshop to discuss his newest book, For Sale: American Paradise -- How Our Nation was Sold an Impossible Dream in Florida. Drye weaves stories of economic development, railroad construction, and outlaw behavior in this tale of Florida’s early boom years during the 1920s and the ensuing hurricane-triggered bust. This event is free and open to the public.
“Revealing reading for anyone interested in early-twentieth-century American history, boom-and-bust stories, and tales of outlaws.” -- Booklist
