Summary:

Seventh generation West Floridian Rucker (history, Pensacola State College) guides readers on a detailed tour of the 12 counties of the Florida panhandle, an often neglected area of study. Providing many b&w and color photos and a brief history of the area, he describes each county--Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, Bay, Jackson, Calhoun, Gulf, Liberty, and Franklin--and its museums, historic districts, state parks, and natural resources. Appendices list all historical and ecological resources for each county and the region's sites, districts, and historical markers on the National Register.
