Description

Florida Gold is a story about one man's incredible success against overwhelming odds, told with a factual description of the birth and growth of the Florida orange juice industry. The book begins in 1915 with the birth of Jack Thomas in a turpentine camp in rural Florida. The child of 15-year-old Irma Sue, who had been seduced by the son of a local moonshiner, Jack is to be raised as her brother by her parents, Pete and Margaret. Pete, however, is soon killed in a horse-riding accident. Irma Sue and Margaret move to Jacksonville, Florida, hoping to earn enough money to bring Jack, left behind with friends, into a new home. The family reunites briefly before Jack is kidnapped and forced to work in an illegal child labor camp. With the assistance of local Native Americans, Jack escapes from the camp as a teenager. He returns to Jacksonville, learns of further family losses, then helps the feds close the camps. With reward money he receives for helping bust up the camps, he buys a citrus operation. When World War II breaks out, Jack asks Harry, his business partner, to manage his business, and goes off to war. He returns a war hero, gets married, and he and Harry start an orange juice business, Tropical Juices. They face numerous challenges from illegal competition, crop-destroying freezes, volatile fruit prices, crop-killing diseases, etc., as they grow Tropical Juices into a multi-billion-dollar global juice manufacturing and marketing empire. With the death of his son, Jeb, Jack has no successor and sells Tropical Juices to the International Liquor Company. ILC sends Doug Altman, their Senior Vice-President of Finance to be the new CEO of Tropical Juices. Doug is a perfect example of arrogance, narcissism, and management incompetence. With his mistakes causing their sales to plummet, and most of their captive fruit supply to go to competitors, Doug is fired. ILC brings Jack back to train Derrick Osborne, his former CEO, to be the new CEO of Tropical Juices.
