Tracing Florida's Journeys with Dr. Leslie Poole - Monthly General Meeting!

Leslie Kemp Poole, Ph.D., will be joining us to discuss her newest book: Tracing Florida Journeys: Explorers, Travelers, and Landscapes Then and Now. In this book, she retraces well-known folks who came through Florida during different historical periods. She uses their words to understand the landscape then and to retrace their steps to see what still exists today. Highlighting the Florida that was and the Florida that exists now, Poole brings together historical research, interviews with experts, and her personal experiences to tell a revealing story of the state's natural history.

Leslie Kemp Poole, a fourth-generation Floridian, is associate professor of environmental studies at Rollins College. She is an award-winning journalist and historian, with her career beginning in reporting for a number of newspapers, including the Orlando Sentinel.
