About The Book

Whether it is fighting wars, playing golf or going fishing, Presidents have come to Florida.  

 

Andrew Jackson launched a covert military operation to steal Florida from the Spanish. 

Thomas Jefferson set out to buy Florida, but ended up making the Louisiana Purchase instead.

Herbert Hoover loved to fish in Florida and held the Florida record for largest bonefish.

Hoover came to Florida to spend time with his friends, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone.

Days before his inauguration, an assassination attempt was made on Franklin Roosevelt as he spoke in a Miami park.

Roosevelt’s yacht was anchored at Fort Lauderdale when a massive hurricane swept it inland. Roosevelt tried to sell it as a hunting lodge.

Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders sailed to glory from Tampa, but nearly missed the boat.

Abraham Lincoln launched a military mission in Florida to help his 1864 reelection chances. 

Harry Truman launched a campaign to defeat a Florida Senator.

George W. Bush launched his political career in Florida, working for a successful Senate candidate. And of course it was the contested Florida vote, with its “hanging-chad” ballots, that gave him reelection in 2000. 

After winning election, Richard Nixon purchased a home in Florida and was there during the Watergate burglary.

Nixon killed the Cross Florida Barge Canal, becoming a hero to environmentalist.
