Florida: It's Scenery Climate and History by Sidney Lanier

Sidney Lanier

1842-1881

Sidney Lanier, a native of Macon, Georgia, was a multifaceted talent known for his musical prowess and literary contributions. Despite his passion for music and poetry, his aspirations were hindered by the outbreak of the Civil War, in which he served as a soldier. Lanier's health suffered, and he had to abandon teaching and law due to his deteriorating condition. He found solace in writing and playing the flute, eventually joining the Peabody Symphony Orchestra in Baltimore. Lanier's published works, including novels and poetry collections, gained recognition, and he also found success as an editor. Unfortunately, his health declined further, and he passed away in 1881. His posthumous works continued to inspire readers.
