Sand
Mansions "Gilliland presents a panorama of fascinating true-life characters who inhabited North Central Florida. . . . It is a great read."—Michael Gannon, author of Secret Missions In 1876, a close presidential contest was
tilted by means of a few stuffed ballot boxes, one of which came
from the village of Archer, Florida. That fraud is the departure
point for Norman Gilliland's historical novel Sand
Mansions, a remarkable story of carpetbag
politics, get-rich-quick schemes, and hasty justice—a story based
closely on events that shaped the history of northern Florida
and the nation in the years 1876 to 1905. Grace Notes for a Year: Stories of Hope, Humor and Hubris from the World of Classical Music is also published by the University of Wisconsin Press. Distributed for NEMO
Productions, Madison, Wisconsin |
