Specificatii
A collection of tales boiling with real estate dealers, egret
poachers, rumrunners, mango growers, sportsmen, land grubbers,
murderers, and mosquitoes. First printed in The Saturday Evening
Post during the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, these stories constitute a
rip-snorting glimpse back to a South Florida that now exists only
in memory.--Miami Herald Reflects the same concerns found in her
better-known non-fiction work--a fascination with the beauty of
Florida and a warning against its imminent
destruction.--Tallahassee Democrat The subjects that would fire
Marjory Stoneman Douglas's enthusiasm for the rest of her life
first appeared in her short fiction published in the 1920s.
Florida's most celebrated environmentalist, the author of The
Everglades: River of Grass, wrote even then about protecting South
Florida's fragile ecosystem and the state's endangered species,
about the dangers of short-sighted land development, and about
Florida history. The nine stories in this first collection take
place in a scattering of South Florida settings--Miami, Ft.
Lauderdale, the Tamiami Trail, the Keys, the Everglades-and reveal
the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped
convicts, and smugglers. Editor Kevin McCarthy relates each story
to Douglas's life and points out the autobiographical touches which
surface frequently in her stories.
