I've read "The Red Hill of Florida".

Another lesser known book is Creating an Old South: Middle Florida's Plantation Frontier before the Civil War by Edward E. Baptist. Very well researched.

I live about a mile and a half from the Capitol in Woodland Drives (next to Myers Park) neighborhood... also once a plantation owned by Edward Houston. I think about that a lot as I'm out walking.
