One hundred years ago; Florida was a wilderness of swamp and beach; dense forest and abundant wild game. Undiscovered; except for a few pioneer sportsmen and hearty farmers and ranchers; the state was still a frontier. True; a few towns flourished on the fishing and the Caribbean trade; but it was generally a sleepy place; far removed from the later boom of the 1920s. 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.
