A vibrant history of Florida’s horticultural heritage and the colorful personalities who made the state synonymous with citrus.   In the 16th century, Ponce de León planted the first orange groves in St. Augustine, Florida. They were the precursor to what would become an integral part of Florida’s identity. Orange groves slowly spread across the state, inspiring agricultural innovations and manufacturing ingenuity. Now Florida food writer Erin Thursby reveals the surprisingly colorful history of Florida’s most famous crop.   Discover the story behind Deland’s eccentric “citrus wizard” Lue Gim Gong; the rise and fall of smuggler Jesse Fish; and the silver-tongued politician William J. Howey, who made his fortune selling plots of groveland through the 1920s. Celebrate the heyday of orange tourism and the farmers who weathered freezes, floods and citrus greening. From the old roots of orange cultivation in Northeast Florida to the new center of oranges in the Southwest, Thursby offers a unique historical tour of the Sunshine State.

Having grown up as a 3rdh generation Floridian in a 300-acre, 100+ year old family-owned citrus grove in the heart of central Florida, I appreciate the research Erin Thursby dedicated to the "Golden Fruit of the Sunshine State". While my family's relatively small grove in northern Lake County, located between the once small communities of Fruitland Park and Lady Lake, wasn't part of the book, many nearby growing areas were.Thursby closely ties the ebb and flow of Florida's citrus growing areas to the vagrancies of the Sunshine State's weather- perfect for citrus with just enough cold to color the fruit 99.9% of the time, punctuated by periodic severe freezes that re-determined the industry's growing regions."Florida Oranges" will make a great Christmas gift for my 87 year old Father- the last member of the family to make a living on the farm before the impact freezes in the 1980's after I graduated from college and chose a different career.
