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 ripsnorting glimpse back to a South Florida that now exists only in memory.'Miami Herald'Reflects the same concerns found in her betterknown nonfiction worka fascination with the beauty of Florida and a warning against its imminent destruction.'Tallahassee DemocratThe subjects that would fire Marjory Stoneman Douglass enthusiasm for the rest of her life first appeared in her short fiction published in the 1920s. Floridas most celebrated environmentalist, the author of The Everglades: River of Grass, wrote even then about protecting South Floridas fragile ecosystem and the states endangered species, about the dangers of shortsighted land development, and about Florida history.The nine stories in this first collection take place in a scattering of South Florida settingsMiami, Ft. Lauderdale, the Tamiami Trail, the Keys, the Evergladesand reveal the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped convicts, and smugglers.Editor Kevin McCarthy relates each story to Douglass life and points out the autobiographical touches which surface frequently in her stories.
