Library Journal'Admirable . . . an interesting and informative historical account of the Everglades.'Journal of Economic History'A powerful book that might disturb some and energize others.' St. Petersburg Times'An engaging, fascinating, and finegrained narrative that is good history with an activist edge. It will change the way we think about the Everglades.'Mart A. Stewart, Western Washington University, author of 'What Nature Suffers to Groe': Life, Labor, and Landscape on the Georgia CoastThis important work for general readers and environmentalists alike offers the first major discussion of the formation, development, and history of the Everglades, considered by many to be the most endangered ecosystem in North America. Comprehensive in scope, it begins with South Florida's geologic originsbefore the Everglades became wetlandsand continues through the 20th century, when sugar reigned as king of the Everglades Agricultural Area.Urging restoration of the Everglades, McCally argues that agriculture, especially sugar growing, must be abandoned or altered.
