Textul de pe ultima copertă
Pepper and Ball both migrated to Florida at the climax of the fabled land boom of the 1920s. Bitterly divided later by philosophical and personal differences, Pepper and Ball were attracted to the Sunshine State for strikingly similar reasons: self-improvement and profit....
In a series of titanic clashes, Pepper and Ball battled across the state, climaxing with the senatorial election of 1950.... The author is even-handed and judicious, allowing the reader to select heroes and villains: Pepper was no saint -- he trimmed his ethical sails in dealing with sectional racial issues -- and Ball was no unredeemed rogue -- he left behind generously endowed charities and parks. Readers will enjoy this modern Florida drama. -- Raymond Arsenault and Gary R. Mormino, Series Editors
