Item description from seller

Offering this uncommon signed limited edition association copy of "A Song of Years in Florida," by Stephen Cochran Singleton. Miami: The Miami Post Publishing Company, n.d., circa 1950. Hardcover, 12/250. Features a lengthy, highly personal, and witty two-part presentation inscription on the limitation page "To the Archers." Includes a clever idiomatic pun on their name regarding "drawing the longbow of statement" alongside a sharp, anti-commercialist sentiment about giving gifts to friends outside of the Christmas season. Initialed "SCS" by the author. And then signed below in full "Stephen C. Singleton" and marked "12 of a limited edition of 250 copies."

Cover has mild bumping and wear with a small amount of loss to the spine ends. Pages are clean and crisp with light paperclip marks at the top of a several pages in the middle.

He is remembered for chronicling the 1926 Miami hurricane and was well-regarded as a regional poet. He was also deeply involved in early conservation efforts to protect Florida's native ecosystems and indigenous cultures. …
