1 Dixie before Disney book cover. What made you decide to write a book about Southern tourist attractions?

The main reason was that I wanted to READ a book about them. I had all these souvenirs and brochures and postcards that my father and I had saved over the years, and I couldn't find a book that would help explain them to me. When it looked like no one else was going to write one, I decided I'd have to do it myself.
