Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida

re-publishing books in the public domain

I've read on several places that anything published prior to 1923 is in the public domain.

My small publishing company is planning to bring back to print several books from the late 1800s and early 1900s, but we wanted to make sure that there aren't any strings attached to that pre-1923 bit. I wanted to find an expert on copyright law who could give me an answer that would give me confidence to move forward with these projects.
