Sarasota A History Book

I have to wonder if there could be a better history of Sarasota written. This is just an outstanding effort. LaHurd's book is more thorough than most all of the histories of anything I've read. This book also takes care of a number complaints I find with many histories: including dates of referenced historical occurrences, the interaction of historical figures, the result of time to historical places or events, etc. Something else included are location photos that are usually left out of histories. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to fellow Florida history buffs!
