Longlisted for the National Book Award and a Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year

Over the centuries, Florida has been many things: an unconquered realm protected by geography, a wilderness that ruined Spanish conquistadors, "god's waiting room," and a place to start over. Depopulated after the extermination of its original native population, today it's home to nineteen million. The site of vicious racial violence, including massacres, slavery, and the roll-back of Reconstruction, Florida is now one of our most diverse states, a dynamic multicultural place with an essential role in 21st-century America.

In Finding Florida, journalist T.D. Allman reclaims the remarkable history of Florida from the state's mythologizers, apologists, and boosters. Allman traces the discovery, exploration, and settlement of Florida, its transformation from a swamp to "paradise." Palm Beach, Key West, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando boomed, fortunes were won and lost, land was stolen and flipped, and millions arrived. The product of a decade of research and writing, Finding Florida is a highly original, stylish, and masterful work, the first modern comprehensive history of this fascinating place.

Handy for storing fresh produce
The stacking baskets are as advertised. Easy to assemble without instructions. A little wobbly as expected but is sturdy enough; even better once propped in a corner. As with most things, it can last for quite a while if handled with care. Measurements are accurate. At 38" tall, I knew that the set of 4 baskets would have towered 2" above my countertop (36"). Now, I think that the set of 3 would have worked just fine at about 29" tall. I like that this can fit in such a tiny 12" floor space and I am able to reclaim some much needed counter space. Talk about uncluttered! Overall this was a good buy but I do think that it is a bit overpriced.

Very firm to be placed on counter top. Baskets have enough space to store onions, fruits etc. Fair price as well.

Better Have Counter Space
Purchased with the idea to reduce counter clutter and have central location of fruits and vegetables. The idea behind the stacking basket bins is fine, but with limited counter space, it just seems to add to the clutter. I am also only able to use the bottom plate and one basket as stacking height would extend high enough to block cabinet doors. Good idea, but not for those with limited counter space and or lower cabinet clearance. Check measurements and counter space.

Excellent product
I was looking for onion and potato storage and I am very happy to find this. Even though item made with plastic material, it is very sturdy and easy to assemble. I store 3 bags of onions( costco bags) and a potato bag. I have very small and narrow space for onions and potato storage, and this stackable baskets are perfect .
