One hundred years ago, Florida was a wilderness of swamp and beach, dense forest and abundant wild game.

Here is a collection of original articles and stories of the old Florida, of hunters and Indians, the development of the sportsman's paradise, the vast canvas of nature prior to the coming of the condominium. Illustrated with rare drawings, photographs and engravings, this book will recreate a paradise that can never be again.… (plus d'informations)
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!
