Descrição do livro

Palmetto-Leaves by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This Florida travelogue, written from Mandarin and other river towns along the St. John’s River in 1872, blends natural history, landscapes, and social observation. It recounts the long voyage from Savannah, with notes on hotels, boats, and the local flora—orange trees, magnolias, yellow jessamine—and the open-air, wintry climate that characterizes the region. Interleaved are moral reflections and portraits of freedmen and laborers, alongside vivid sketches of the right-hand beauty of Florida and the so-called wrong side—frosts, malarial dangers, and seasonal extremes. The book also offers practical farming advice and accounts of citrus culture, orange groves, nurseries, and land-claims, as well as essays on schools and race relations in the early Reconstruction era. Throughout, Stowe’s humane sensibility shapes commentary on pets, animals, and human welfare. Palmetto-Leaves thus presents a panoramic, often affectionate, yet candid portrait of a young Southern colony at the edge of the tropics.
