Illustrated with rare drawings, photographs and engravings, this book will recreate a paradise that can never be again.… (más)
From Barnes & Noble One hundred years ago, it was still a frontier land of swamp and forest, home only to a few sturdy farmers and sportsmen. These original old articles, tales of hunters and Indians, reveal the lush wilderness before condos. Rare illustrations help re-create the paradise lost. Includes photos and engravings.
From the Publisher When Florida was a wilderness and only the brave chanced swamps, alligators, hurricanes and the lush, tropical forests. An amazing contrast to the vacation paradise of today!
