DR. TEBEAU’S NEW BOOK	Dr. Charlton W. Tebeau’s A His-
ALREADY A BEST-SELLER	torv of Florida has an official pub-
lication date of March 30 — but the distinguished writer-educator’s latest book already has moved into the “best seller“ class, according to UM Press Director Ernest A. See-mann.
In the 502-page, 124-illustration volume, Dr. Tebeau presents a panorama of Florida’s history from ancient days to the 1970 state elections. Many of the photographs, drawings, and maps are previously unpublished. All bookstores locally are reporting brisk sales of the $12.50 work.
Dr. Tebeau, author of numerous books, including “The Chokolos-kee Bay Country,“ “Florida’s Last Frontier,’’ and “Man in the Everglades,” is professor of history and former chairman of the history department. In 1967 Dr. Tebeau was named one of UM’s Outstanding Teachers and was designated one of 37 Super Profs in the nation by Esquire magazine in recognition of the popularity of his classes among students. One of his most tangible recognitions came in 1969 in the form of a gift to UM of $10,000 from a Michigan alumna in honor of her former history professor.
