James R. Anthony rose from poor Georgia farm boy to what one historian called “Florida’s King of chain banks.” I’ve been invited to share his story and how he impacted Florida’s story at the Amelia Island Museum of History’s monthly program, 3rd on 3rd — the 3rd Friday of the month — February 21. This will be a one-hour show-and-tell with vintage photographs of the events swirling around this little-known but pivotal figure in our state’s history.
