{"product_id":"orange-blossom-gardens-and-the-stewart-dunaway-9781304048509","title":"Orange Blossom Gardens and The Villages - How it all began.","description":"This book provides great detail on how Orange Blossom Garden (OBG) began - and by who. Then, OBG expands into Sumter County - into what we know today as - The Villages. Beginning in 1968, Albert J. Tarson bought the land for developing a mobile home park. However, it languished, causing him to sell out to the Schwartz family. Then it began to expand in Lake County until they ran out of room - crossed US-441 and into Sumter and parts of Marion County. Now this massive community continues to expand. This book was written to sift through misinformation and stories - with facts. These facts are legal documents - deed records, county approved plats, FCC licenses, newspapers, and on it goes. This book covers the owners\/investors - with some genealogy and history - as well as some early Florida activity (1950s - before the OBG). This book ends in 2014. The intent was how it began as well as how it expanded - more than about - today. There is a small section comparing a few modern activities - but the history ends in 2014 upon the death of Harold Gary Morse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stewart Dunaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1304048500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781304048509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Stewart Dunaway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305142173951,"sku":"9781304048509","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7af17c68-8308-4ade-bf04-a9e30cc869e2.jpg?v=1758830084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orange-blossom-gardens-and-the-stewart-dunaway-9781304048509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
