From it's idyllic source in the Green Swamp, the Hillsborough River winds past columns of cypress and matted shrubs and opens into Tampa Bay, part of Florida's urbanized, publicized western Suncoast. In exciting, historically compelling narrative, Gloria Jahoda traces the river's origin to prehistoric times, chronicles the arrivals of the conquistadors, missionaries, and marauders and points out how modern ambitions threaten to destroy the environment as surely as earlier encroachment annihilated native people.

6 x 9", 408 pages, bibliography, index, paperback.
