Books by William Holcomb

The challenge was set- "The Salt Spring area has been reported to have historical significance. Little information has been compiled by the park to document or corroborate the events and history of the site in and near the park that have occurred since the 1800s. Effort should be made to compile this history through research, outreach to the local historical society and oral history interviews of knowledgeable local residents."- This book is an answer to that challenge. Covering activities around Saltworks from Tampa Bay to Cedar Key and beyond, it is an attempt to document and explain one facility in one area, before the story is lost to time.
