Writer Isaac Eger explores Florida's overlooked cattle-driving past and the wide interior most of us never see.About this Event
Join us for a conversation with Isaac Eger, celebrating his book The Great Florida Cattle Drive, an exploration of a largely forgotten chapter of Florida history. A Sarasota native, Eger is a writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, LA Mag, and Sarasota Magazine. After traveling the world from Cuba to India to Tibet, he came to an unexpected conclusion: Florida is the most interesting place of all. The Great Florida Cattle Drive turns its attention inland, tracing the legacy of Florida's cowboys and cattle drivers and challenging familiar ideas about the American West.
In this conversation, Eger will discuss Florida's overlooked cattle-driving past, the vast interior most people never see, and what it means to preserve the stories and landscapes that shaped the state long before theme parks and high-rises. The evening will include time for audience questions, followed by a book signing. This event is perfect for readers interested in Florida history, nonfiction, travel writing, and anyone curious about the deeper, stranger stories hiding beyond our coasts.
