The Winter Park Historical Association Invites You to Attend "The Lost Florida Novel"

“The Lost Florida Novel”
The presentation of a novel found in the Rollins College archives by Professor of English Maurice O’Sullivan & Professor and Head of Archives & Special Collections Wenxian Zhang

More than eighty years before Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings published the Yearling, Cyrus Parkhurst Condit wrote this coming-of-age novel about a teenage boy in Florida who learns to hunt, builds a fence and takes a fawn as a pet. Undiscovered and unpublished until now, A Trip to Florida for Health and Sport is an engaging, historically significant story and one of Florida’s first novels.
