Summary of Dave Barry's Best. State. Ever.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 For millions of years, Florida was uninhabited, because it was geographically remote and several hundred feet beneath the surface of the Atlantic. It was not until Global Rising that Florida emerged from the ocean and began to grow.

#2 Florida’s economy was mainly agricultural until 1865, when the Civil War broke out. In that year, a farmer decided to prank shipment some grapefruit. Northerners ate it, and the Florida economy was changed forever.

#3 Florida was a quiet backwater in the 1950s, but it grew rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s because of its good climate, low taxes, and an energetic economy based on tourism and narcotics importation.

#4 Florida is the third most-populous state. It is also in second place if you count dead people. More than 1,000 people move to Florida every day.
