Trabue Woods Book of Values

The traditional values by the pioneers that settled the Trabue Woods community in South West Florida enabled the community to survive and to thrive. These values passed genration to generation, from 1885 to the late 1960's, were learned by the author herself as a girl growing up in the Trabue Woods community. Using old photographs and newspaper articles, the 8 core values learned by the children of Trabue Woods are shared with young readers ages 8-12. The values taught in Trabue Woods are typical of those held by the descendants of slaves who established communities after the turn of the century.
