“The Lost Florida Novel”

The presentation of a novel found in the Rollins College archives by Dr. Maurice O’Sullivan & Mr. 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 Undiscovered and unpublished until now, A Trip to Florida for Health and Sport is an engaging,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.
