I am a history buff and an avid reader of historical works. I have 2 DDs in FL and their children have taught me so many things about their state I had not read. All have studied their state history, of course in school, but three of the four are also history buffs and make a point to find out something new to tell me each time I visit. When I retired, and moved to the Los Angeles area for a couple years, I learned a lot of CA history I never learned in school, by visiting museums, historical sites and just reading. Both states have an appearance of being young because of the tourist meccas but don't be fooled by that, both states have a rich history like most other states, some just not as old as others. Emily Both states have history from before Americans made their way to them. Ponce de Leon tromped around Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth and that may explain St. Petersburg. ;-) Before that were the Mound Builders, who were there for many years, nobody knows for sure, but they left traces. California was inhabited before the missionaries built the chain of missions, and Russians came over and settled, as well. Lots of history, just not U.S. history necessarily. -- Joanne @ stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us http://bernardschopen.tripod.com/ Life is about the journey, not about the destination. |
