Experience the hope and despair of Florida's Territorial Period through the eyes of a contemporary boy. With him, see how the clash of wealthy planters, independent Crackers, oppressed Blacks and proud Seminoles contributed to Florida's evolution from a territory to a state. The story begins with a modern day boy in the school library. He inserts a disk into a computer and discovers an interactive encounter with the events of Florida's Territorial Period.
