Few people today can claim a living memory of Florida's frontier Everglades. Glen Simmons, who has hunted alligators, camped on hammock-covered islands, and poled his skiff through the mangrove swamps of the Glades since the 1920s, is one who can. In this book, together with Laura Ogden, he tells the story of backcountry life in the southern Everglades from his youth until the establishment of the Everglades National Park in 1947.

5.5" x 8.5", cloth with color dustjacket, 224 pages, b&w photos, appendix, bibliography, index.
