THE EVERGLADES: River of Grass

by Marjory Stoneman Douglas ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

This excellent regional series here provides evidence of the infinite possibilities with a unique section, a ""good companion"" in the series. Here is regional history in the drama of the region and the personalities, the descriptions of the place and what the people were like before the first explorers came, what has happened in the years between. There's talk of the political as well as the military, agricultural, social and legendary aspects, of the many incidents that marked the progress of the region, the plans for the drainage of the glades, of the Florida boom and bust, and of the application of scientific theories on land redemption to this area.
