A Florida Sketch Book by B. Torrey

What a recall of memories. I grew up in Daytona Beach in the late '40 and '50's and the places that are spoken of in the "sketch" were brought back into focus. I certainly remember the oyster mounds, oyster shell roads, the rivers and the tone of the people. The beach at Daytona is a world wonder and I was fortunate to see it before it was overrun by people and development. This could also be said for the rest of the State. This is well read and even of style. I think that I will try my hand at reading and making a small contribution. Thanks to all the work at LibriVox for these gems.
