Download or read book Protecting Sanibel and Captiva Islands written by Charles LeBuff and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vibrant Sanibel and Captiva Islands are ecological marvels compared to Florida's many overbuilt barrier islands. Development began with the construction of the Sanibel Island Lighthouse in 1884, when only the lighthouse keeper and assistant and their families lived on the island. Noted conservationist Jay N. "Ding" Darling led the charge in preserving the islands' wildlife and natural beauty from the greed of real estate speculators and land developers in the 1930s. Former presidents like Harry Truman and cabinet-level executives worked alongside Sanibel and Captiva residents, setting up preserves and wildlife refuges to guard the integrity of the islands' unique natural blessings, abundant wildlife and aquatic stores. Charles LeBuff and Betty Anholt review the evolution of the islands' conservation ethic and how it perseveres even today.
Download or read book Sanibel Island written by Yvonne Hill and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanibel, a barrier island on the southwest coast of Florida, was originally inhabited by the Calusa Indians around 1500. In 1513, explorer Ponce DeLeon landed ashore the exotic isle, with its brackish estuaries, plush mangrove jungles, and sandy beaches, opening the door for others who would eventually find their way to the island. Over time, Sanibel was visited by European explorers, slave traders, pirates, and Seminole Indians, all of whom added to its colorful and intriguing history. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the original settlers of modern-day Sanibel arrived on the island. These pioneers were a contrasting group of individuals, comprised of diverse ethic origins and cultures, yet all seemed to share a common goal of using hard work, resourcefulness, and determination to make the island their home. Their efforts and sacrifices greatly contributed to the growth and rich history of Sanibel as we know it today.

Download or read book The Sea Shell Islands written by Elinore M. Dormer and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Juan Ponce de Leon officially discovered the Sea Shell Islands, Sanibel and Captiva, in 1513 when he turned landward on the Gulf Coast of Florida and sailed south 'as far as some islands that make out to sea.' An abundant food supply attracted Indians before the Age of Discovery and their gold, gleaned from shipwrecks, brought the Spanish conquistadores, Slavers, pirates, marauding Seminoles -- all were part of the colorful, often tempestuous, history of these islands, now famous for sea shells. Mrs. Dormer's descriptions are informative and always lively, whether she's discussing and re-creating the accidental discovery of Sanibel and Captiva, making conjectures about a possible earlier visit by Amerigo Vespucci, or delving into the personal histories of some of the first permanent settlers on the two tiny isles. She makes it clear why such personages as Thomas A. Edison, Theodore Roosevelt and Edna St. Vincent Millay were drawn there as well. the present also is very real in The Sea Shell Islands as Islanders fight to keep the charms of another era against the almost insurmountable odds of explosive growth."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Letters from Clam Song written by Doris Davey Hardy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters From Clam Song began by me as a way of sharing with my two great nephews Jack Hardy Wurth and Henry James Wurth currently four years old and two years old what their Auntie's life was like during 2007-2008. I wanted them to have a picture as it were of how I lived with my miniature Dachshund Chauncey during that time. I also thought they would come to know what it was like for a single woman to live in a very natural setting. Clam Song is the name of my home and property (1.19 acres) based on a poem written by my friend, Leslie Wilson after she visited the untouched land with me. Once Chauncey and I became full time year long residents in our newly built home I began to use e-mail as a means of sharing our Clam Bayou and island experiences. Eventually my cousin Jane Hardy and I evolved into daily e-mails. Jane and her husband Steve live near Boston. Jane is the Director of Athletics and Physical Education Department Chair at Shady Hill School so at times my letters reflect our mutual professional careers. The book is really an account of day to day living with the environment as well as the mundane. Three of the concepts I hope Jack and Henry and those who choose to read Letters From Clam Song will learn is the necessity of protecting our natural environment of spending time enjoying it and learning from its inhabitants and the importance of volunteering. Throughout the book there are references to my volunteer work especially with the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the Sanibel Wildlife Committee and the International Osprey Foundation. There are also accounts of beach walking activities with Chauncey Clam Bayou is located next to the Gulf of Mexico as well as walking and biking hours through island preserves, the Refuge and bike paths. Since Clam Bayou provides a habitat for a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects there are observations and sightings. Of course the day to day living events are also included. Such events include the changing from septic system to city sewer system, the loss of a washing machine, Chauncey's operation or the problems with cable and computer connections! The reader will also learn more about my cousin Jane and my immediate family who came from Arizona to celebrate my 65th birthday during the time period. Most of all kayaking in Clam Bayou with its many acres of water and inhabitants is a favorite activity and topic. Luckily Chauncey makes an excellent first mate on shorter trips and thus the picture of us on the back cover of the book. Perhaps that says it best as to how we are to live our lives.
