LA DOMENICA DEL CORRIERE. 13 ottobre 1929. Anno XXXI - N. 41.
In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Nella Florida, classica terra di cicloni, s'e abbattuto un nuovo spaventoso uragano che ha scoperchiato o addirittura raso al suolo innumerevoli case e ha distrutto i raccolti. Vi sono state molte vittime." "A un passaggio a livello sulla linea Montebelluna-Padova, un autocarro con rimorchio, carico di barili di birra, è stato investito dal treno. Il conducente e un operaio che si trovava pure sull'autocarro sono rimasti uccisi; il fuochista della locomotiva ha riportato leggiere ferite." .

LA DOMENICA DEL CORRIERE. 18 giugno 1950. Anno LII - N. 25.
In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Tigri del mare contro naufraghi dell'aria. Al largo della Florida un bimotore con a bordo 65 uomini, quasi tutti braccianti agricoli, e precipitato in Atlantico. Passeggeri ed equipaggio hanno fatto in tempo a uscire dalla carlinga mettendo a mare vari battellini pneumatici di salvataggio. Ma immediatamente le acque si sono popolate di una torma di grossi pescicani che hanno fatto strage. Dalle navi accorse sono state tratte in salvo solo 37 persone." "Fuoco antiaereo in tempo di pace. Nel Bergamasco, tra il Serio e il Cherio, per proteggere vigne e frutteti dalla grandine che ogni anno provoca gravi danni, sono state sparate con successo, all'avvicinarsi di un minaccioso nembo, varie serie di razzi che, scoppiando a grande altezza, hanno interrotto la grandinata e sconvolto la formazione temporalesca che si è sminuzzata e dispersa; cosicche le piantagioni sono state salve.".

LA DOMENICA DEL CORRIERE. 2 Dicembre 1928. Anno XXX - N. 49.
In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Una brutta sorpresa. Nel porto di Pensacola (Florida), un velivolo, che si era appena staccato da terra, precipitava sopra un battello da diporto. Le tre persone che erano sull'imbarcazione rimasero miracolosamente incolumi. Il tenente che pilotava l'apparecchio riporto ferite lievissime." "Un dramma nella Manica. Una barca di salvataggio uscita da Rye, presso Folkestone, per accorrere in aiuto di un piroscafo, al ritorno, non lontano dalla terra, veniva ingoiata da una formidabile ondata. Tutti i diciassette uomini dell'equipaggio annegarono, sotto gli occhi delle loro famiglie, che si erano raccolte a pregare su una rupe.".

African American Photographica: Florida
PAIR OF COMMERCIALLY-PRODUCED PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS FEATURING LARGE-FORMAT IMAGES OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND OTHER LABORERS ON A POTATO FARM IN FLORIDA
Hastings Fl 1920. Two volumes. Eighteen sepia-toned photographs each approximately 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black leatherette all photographs linen-backed and bound in on stubs. Mild shelf wear. Photographs in excellent condition. A very interesting pair of photo albums with large-format images featuring African- American field workers and other manual laborers working for Superior Brand New Potatoes in Florida in the early 20th century. The photographs were professionally produced by the Higginbotham Photo Company of Dallas Texas with their paper label affixed to the inside front cover of each album. Ten of the eighteen photographs feature African- American laborers in the fields on tractors posed outside the processing area or on trucks loading freight trains. Of the ten photographs four are unique examples and three are present in duplicate. In addition to the African-American workers several shots feature poor white laborers processing potatoes including one shot of workers using a Boggs Potato Grader. <br> <br> Hastings became the "Potato capital of Florida" in the early 1900s after Thomas Horace Hastings established a 1569-acre plantation to grow winter vegetables. Soon he switched to potatoes and by 1917 he enjoyed great success. Hastings remains an important agricultural center today serving as the packing and shipping center for a tri- county consortium of potato farmers with farms that also produce cabbage onions eggplant and other vegetables. hardcover books
