Trottman, Rosemary W. The History of Zephryhills, 1821-1921.
New York: Vantage Press, (1978). First Edition, Stated.
Signed & Inscribed by the Author. Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, [x] + 224 pp. Funeral service program for author laid-in. Near-Fine, with faint foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good dust jacket with slight sunning to spine & light edgewear. From dust jacket: This enlightening history of Zephyrhills, Florida, traces the evolution of that community from 1821 to 1921. During that century-long period Zephyrhills progressed from Spanish-Indian ownership to an autonomous municipality known alternately as ÒThe Friendly CityÓ and The Pure Water City. Author Rosemary W. Trottman is a scrupulous researcher with an unfailing eye for the significant detail and the novelist's affinity for the Òhuman touch.Ó While her history is replete with important events and their dates, and considers the effects of the railroad and the automobile on the community, the citizenry of Zephyrhills and their changing lifestyles throughout the years are also dealt with in depth. Particularly interesting is her account of the colonial years, in which the day-to-day activities of the settlers -- log rolling, sugar caning -- are described. This authoritative and charming glimpse into a vanished past makes a wonderful gift to the pioneers of Zephyrhills -- and to readers everywhere.
