Bulow Gold (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495317262)

Comments by the author: The Old King's Road was built by the British prior to the American Revolution. It ran from Georgia to Florida's Atlantic Coast. This was the main entry into Florida from 1774 until 1914 when the railroads and highways began to appear. I began a simple little history called The Search for Old Kings Road. . My present four books are in the "Old Kings Road Series" of events along this historic roadway. "I am Grey Eyes" is the tale of a most unusual Indian entrepreneur who was a cattleman and was credited by the British Governor in helping to blaze the trail for The Kings Road. "Osceola His Capture and Seminole Legends" happens on a recently discovered location upon Old Kings just south of St. Augustine's Moultrie Creek. Here Seminole leader Osceola tells his story in his own words as he awaits the army on Old Kings. "Bulow Gold" takes you again on Old Kings to the rich, successful sugar plantation of the Bulow family. The story is again as accurate as I could make it with real people and events that did occur. Here is the story of a great dream, a lost diary that was located by a distant relative of Bulow's black slave housekeeper. As in all my books the characters and events are real. I call these books "researched historic fiction." I was not there in 1821. In all my books I try to connect to dots and present the most logical outcomes. Sometimes I come across a bit of history that no one knows. The Osceola capture site upon Old Kings Road had been rarely visited and was mostly forgotten. Thanks to the Osceola book there is now great public interest in it. History can be fun. I hope you enjoy my Florida history books. For you experts there are plenty of errors for I am not a professor. I enjoy finding new things and telling stories. I am a director of the Flagler County Historical Society. In prior life (before retirement to Palm Coast Florida) I was owner, CEO and operator of several companies in the high technology photographic equipment field. I hold the degree of Photographic Craftsmen in the Professional Photographers of America. I marketed an early color digital print system (before such existed!) and held several patents in my career.
