    With such a deep and sincere love of the historical value of the Bulow Plantation, the state park rangers want to share the vast history that once occurred on the 2,200 acres of cleared land owned by the Bulow family. There are several ways the state park rangers promote the land so that as many people can enjoy it as possible. One of the ways they advertise is by attracting active outdoor people to go on the many hiking trails and bicycling trails or for the water lovers to drop a small powerboat at the drop off or canoe and/or kayak through the various channels of water. When traveling these routes they say you have the possibility of seeing Bald eagles, Swallow-tailed Kites, and Florida Manatees. Bulow attracts others by providing some handicap…

Sexton describes the extensive lengths that the King went to protect Briar Rose, which includes burning all the spindles and forcing the men of the castle to poison their tongues. Sexton writes, “Thus she dwelt in his odor. / Rank as honeysuckle.” Comparing honeysuckle to rank with a negative connotation emphasizes that this “sweet” type of protection may have been unwanted from Briar Rose herself.…

    What I think is meant by “Cotton Culture” is an exclusive, hospitable group of farmers that prestigiously operated a large acreage of land, to make profit for themselves and their tenants. Before the Civil War, the South became very self sufficient in sharecropping; gaining for profit and obtaining free labor. Plantation owners would travel from one state to another visiting friends and showing hospitality with their profits by way of southern cooking, music and like formal parties. I can imagine these elites would go back and forward about how much more fruitful the next farmers land was going to be in July or bragging on his strongest working slave. Cotton Culture aristocrats lived a very high profile life stye.…
