Sit back, relax, and enjoy this collection of stories. Touching, tragic, humorous, or heart-warming, these tales share one thing in common: they actually happened. They are about real people, real places, and the fascinatingly real history of Jefferson County, Florida, one of the oldest counties in the state.
From banks and blacksmiths to Coca-Cola companies and car thieves, Fifteen Cents and a Pint of Ice Cream presents brief snapshots of the history of Jefferson County in all its quirks, quandaries, and buried alligators. This collection of stories captures the interesting lives of farmers and businessmen, the amusing antics of former Jefferson County sheriffs, and the outlandish ideas and modes of travel that were once a daily part of Florida life. Watermelons, mules, and Christmas turkeys all find their way into our county's colorful past. Each sketch is filled with fascinating and unusual tidbits of local life, bringing to life the intriguing times of long, long ago.
