The books in the Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series demonstrate the University Press of Florida's long history of publishing Latin American and Caribbean studies titles that connect in and through Florida, highlighting the connections between the Sunshine State and its neighboring islands. Books in this series show how early explorers found and settled Florida and the Caribbean. They tell the tales of early pioneers, both foreign and domestic. They examine topics critical to the area such as travel, migration, economic opportunity, and tourism. They look at the growth of Florida and the Caribbean and the attendant pressures on the environment, culture, urban development, and the movement of peoples, both forced and voluntary. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series gathers the rich data available in these architectural, archaeological, cultural, and historical works, as well as the travelogues and naturalists' sketches of the area in prior to the twentieth century, making it accessible for scholars and the general public alike. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series is made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, under the Humanities Open Books program.

The Tampa Bay area has a rich and fascinating history. Truly an international city, Tampa attracted its residents from all over the world, and the city's natural deep-water port and proximity to the Panama Canal encouraged significant growth around the turn of the twentieth century. Visionary pioneers came together with Henry B. Plant's railroad, the construction of the Tampa Bay Hotel, and Tampa's five "C's" (climate, cattle, citrus, cigars, and cheap labor) to build the city that became the "Gem of Florida's Gulf Coast." During this same period in Tampa's history, from the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication. Postcard photographers traveled the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in American history.

In tune with the vibrant and ever-changing colors of sun-drenched skies and surrounding bays, the city of Tampa sings out like a glistening, world-class destination on Florida's Sun Coast.Made up of diverse neighborhoods and thriving business districts, the origin of Tampa's growth stemmed from a burgeoning cigar industry that, in turn, spared the building of railroads and shipping ports during the late 19th century.Tampa has since grown to a population of over 300,000 and continues to thrive. It boasts the state's largest seaport, top universities, sprawling riverfront parks, excellent museums, and state-of-the-art arenas that are home to professional NHL, MLB, and NFL sports teams. As a diverse culinary mecca, Tampa offers everything from an Authentic Cuban sandwich to modern gourmet seafood specialties. All of this and more umbrellaed by the swaying palms and azure skies of its beautiful tropical climate.Browsing these pages of exquisite imagery captured by photographer Matthew Paulson, it's astounding to reflect upon the times when 16th-century pirates roamed these waters, and to ponder the historical timeline that culminated into the brilliant jewel that is Tampa today.
