I love this thread! One more title for you book lovers to add: Beneath a Ruthless Sun, A true Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found, by Gilbert King - same author as Devil in the Grove. Beneath is a very good read, from a newspaper owner/report’s perspective, it covers nearby areas of Ocala, Lake County, Mt Dora, and more. Corrupt sheriff in Lake Co in the late 1950’s and how he had his own version of justice and took advantage of the vulnerable in society and people of color. A hard book to put down, but I had to take breaks from it because it is heartbreaking to read of these injustices. Well worth your time to read about a bit of history right here in our backyard.
