It contains significantly new additions and corrections to the 2018 publication. Numerous stampless cover additions and corrections have been made to the listings over the past eighteen years. In addition, scans of adhesive stamped covers and postal entries from towns with minimal or no stampless markings or new postmarks make this book the current recognized text on all Florida Postal History prior to the Civil War. This updated publication contains cover reproductions from many collectors and the State Library & Archives of Florida in an effort to show postmarks and rare markings used in Florida before the Civil War.

Many names of Florida places evoke fantastic images: Caloosahatchee, Okeechobee, Loxahatchee, Everglades, Miami—to mention only a few. Did you know that Florida's places were often named to honor prominent local citizens such as postmasters, landowners, or war heroes? Jacksonville, for example, was named for Florida's first American governor, Andrew Jackson. Later the state's interest in attracting new residents produced names that suggested pleasant places to live, such as Belle Glade and Avon-by-the-Sea. From Alachua (from the Seminole for "jug") to Zolfo Springs (from the Italian for "sulphur"), Florida Place Names delights and educates with a rich and varied offering of Florida lore.
