The lives of notorious bad guys, perpetrators of mischief, visionary–if misunderstood–thinkers, and other colorful antiheroes, jerks, and evil doers from history all get their due in the short essays featured in these enlightening, informative, books. Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Florida History features more than a dozen short biographies of nefarious characters, from the misguided Dr. Frederick Weedon, the physician who treated the great Muskegee warrior Osceola during his captivity, to Lewis Powell, John Wilkes Booth’s Florida co-conspirator.
