It's interesting to read this now. I remember Florida well during that time period and I'm familiar with many of the places described in the book. Used to play at the air base In Orlando when I was a kid. I also remember how nervous everyone was during the Cuban crisis.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
