The third installment in Koszulinski's Florida trilogy, Last Stop, Flamingo takes one last critical look at the sunshine state. Koszulinski investigates a region defined by imaginary histories and landscapes, from the drained and dredged river known as The Everglades to the man-made white sand beaches that make up Florida's coastline. Early visions of Florida landscapes are revealed, from the early 20th-century Koreshan utopian community, founded by Cyrus Teed in the swamplands of Florida, to the world's largest planned subdivision--Golden Gate Estates--which projected a population of over 400,000 residents. Five-hundred years after Ponce de Leon's discovery of Florida, Koszulinski reflects on the many ways in which Florida's landscapes have been irreversibly shaped by human desires.
