Stowe and her husband purchased an orange plantation in Mandarin, where they contributed to the local community by establishing schools and churches for newly freed African Americans. This work is notable for being one of the first travel guides to Florida, capturing the region's natural beauty and social dynamics while stimulating early tourism and development in the area.
