Flashback to Robert’s previous book in the Old Florida Series

August 4, 2023 · by · in Florida History · 1 Comment

In honor of release of Robert’s new book, Rum Runners and Moonshiners of Old Florida, Volume Two we discuss the era of prohibition in the state. We look back at the lawlessness and independent streak in the Florida Panhandle as discussed in Rum Runners and Moonshiners of Old Florida as well look at the impact of the prohibition era in general. It’s well-know Al Capone spent much of his time in Miami and owned a home there. It is less well-known Capone’s connection to the Panhandle. The book is the latest installment in the Old Florida series which is published by The Florida Squeeze.
