Let me tell you, I am sort of ridiculous when it comes to Jacksonville and Florida history. At this point, you could call my book collection on the subject a library. I go on lone adventures and I think WOW I REALLY WISH THERE WAS SOMEWHERE I COULD FIND OTHER PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT JACKSONVILLE LIKE I DO.
And then I find this website.
And I'm in heavennnnnn!
Welcome and enjoy! 8)
Welcome. Sounds like you're in the right place.
Glad to have you. Welcome !! :)
Welcome to a fello history buff.
A couple of books you might consider to add to your collection are Acres of Ashes. I love this book because it was written a few months after the great fire, and it has interesting historical perspectives that modern books often lack.
Also, Old Hickory Town. It was written in the early 80s. There is some very interesting info in it, though I believe it is out of publication now.
Welcome aboard.

There are copies of Old Hickory's Town in the San Marco Bookstore. I agree, it's a terrific overview of local history to that time.
