"Florida may not have a presidential homestead, but it contains the Disney resort where an embattled Richard Nixon exclaimed 'I am not a crook' and the fishing hole where Chester A. Arthur discovered that he would not live to see a second term. It is the place where presidents have come to escape and let down their guards.

Illustrated with rare and candid photographs, [this] is a book for any lover of the American presidency"--Back cover.
