Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Everglades of Florida My first public utterance concerning the Everglades of Florida was an address delivered in Miami, Fla., Feb. 26, 1908. At this meeting I gave it as my opinion the Ever glades would be drained, but the land would not be perma uently settled without the introduction and growth of some staple crop of a high commercial value, and suggested rice and sugar cane as the crops that would most likely be found best suited to the climate and soil. After having completed my investigation for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, in a report prepared by me June 25, 1909, I used the following language: It is believed by agriculturists and chemists who have studied the situation, and from evidence afforded by the demonstrations that have been made, that sugar cane can be grown successfully on these muck lands. The writer saw in numerous places, visited many patches of sugar cane, the stalks as large and heavy as those grown in Louisiana and thick enough on the ground to yield a big tonnage per acre.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across the Everglades: A Canoe Journey of Exploration If the reader has the patience and fortitude to follow me in my wanderings, he will perhaps find many preconceived and erroneous impressions of the character if Everglades dissipated. I have elsewhere stated the purpose of my winters work. It remains, then, only for me to thank those who have kindly aided me. I beg here to express my great indebtedness to my friend, Mr. H. M. Flagler, for the courtesies of his railroad and the special interest shown by him in the successful issue of my undertaking. I have also to thank Mr. J. I. Ingraham for loaning me the complete and interesting notes made by him during his own expedition. The vocabulary in this volume was greatly enriched by the use of that charming little book, "The Seminoles of Florida," by Minnie Moore Willson, enabling me to add much to my own stock of words.

Ln a vast, shallow sheet this lazy river idles through tall grasses and shadowy forests, easing over alligator holes and under bird rookeries, finally mingling with the salty waters of Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in the mangrove swamps.

Download or read book Wild Sports in the South written by Charles E. Whitehead and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Sports in the South: Or, of the Camp-Fires of the Everglades Some of the Sketches contained in this volume Were con tributed by the Author to the journal Ihe Spirit of the Times; some have since been floating about in other papers; While others were also published in New York in 1860, under the title of Wild Sports in the South. So much it seems necessary to say, lest the reader should regard these twice-told tales as lack ing in originality. N othing more is claimed for this volume than that it contains reminiscences of an actual hunt, and some adventures in the penin sula of Florida that happened many years ago, and counterparts of tales, some of them then told and since remembered, some of them fancied, such as frontier hunters tell When assembled at night around their camp-fires. The Author does not ask that each story shall be regarded as having occurred literally as written; but he believes the spirit of the tales, the portraits of the frontier characters, the description of natural scenery, and the fragments of Indian history, to be correct. Much of the Indian history may be found in The Exiles of Florida, a historical work written by J oshua R. Gidding, and published in 1858. The basis of the Florida Pocahontas is recorded in the history of Garoilasso de la Vega, one of the early Spanish chroniclers.

Download or read book Where to Go in Florida Classic Reprint written by Daniel F. Tyler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Where to Go in Florida He also hopes - by attracting good people to Green Cove - to add greatly to its material prosperity. Hitherto this most desirable location has made itself known through its own merits only, no efforts having yet been made to bring it into general notice; consequently many tourists have passed it by altogether. You may, at first sight, be a little disappointed. The general aspect of things is, perhaps, primitive, and somewhat strange to the Northern eye. Yet this is not unpleasing; and the place has a wonderful capacity for growing upon one's affections. A single Winter passed there con firms your love for it. You always want to go back to it again. You realize a moral as well as a physical benefit from this communion with the primitive world. The author has endeavored, in this pamphlet, to state simple facts. If anything here seems too highly colored, it should be attributed wholly to the writer's affection for the place: or as a sort of mental thank-offer ing for restoration to health.

There was about him an air of anxious expectancy, and from time to time he rose from his crouching position and with hand to ear listened intently.

Download or read book Archaeology of the Everglades written by John W. Griffin and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An important book about a natural World Heritage site that also has a rich human heritage."--American Archaeology "As the only available synthesis of the archaeology of the Everglades, this book fills an important niche."--Choice "Adds immeasurably to our knowledge of South Florida archaeology."--Journal of Field Archaeology "Offers a vivid glimpse into a rich cultural past in an oftentimes misunderstood and overlooked region of our country."--H-Net "Detailed descriptions of archaeological surveys and test excavations dovetail nicely with broader chapters on settlement, subsistence, and social organization. This is a valuable reference work."--SMRC Revista "An extremely important work. . . . John has brought his unprecedented knowledge of the archaeology together with his anthropological and ecological insights, to provide the most thorough synthesis of the predrainage aboriginal use of this area. Now that Congress has mandated the restoration of the Everglades . . . this book will provide researchers as well as the general public with an understanding of what the Everglades were like prior to drainage and how humans utilized this natural wonder."--Randolph J. Widmer, University of Houston Originally prepared as a report for the National Park Service in 1988, Griffin's work places the human occupation of the Everglades within the context of South Florida's unique natural environmental systems. He documents, for the first time, the little known but relatively extensive precolumbian occupation of the interior portion of the region and surveys the material culture of the Glades area. He also provides an account of the evolution of the region's climate and landscape and a history of previous archaeological research in the area and fuses ecological and material evidence into a discussion of the sequence and distribution of cultures, social organization, and lifeways of the Everglades inhabitants. Milanich and Miller have transformed Griffin's report into an accessible, comprehensive overview of Everglades archaeology for specialists and the general public. Management plans have been removed, maps redrawn, and updates added. The result is a synthesis of the archaeology of a region that is taking center stage as various state and federal agencies cooperate to restore the health of this important ecosystem, one of the nation's most renowned natural areas and one that has been designated a World Heritage Site and a Wetland of International Importance. This book will make a key work in Florida archaeology more readily available as a springboard for future research and will also, at last, allow John Griffin's contribution to south Florida archaeology to be more widely appreciated. John W. Griffin, a pioneer in Florida archaeology, was an archaeologist for both the Florida Park Service and the National Park Service (NPS), director of the NPS Southeast Archeological Center in Macon, Georgia, and director of the St. Augustine Preservation Board. Jerald T. Milanich is emeritus professor at the University of Florida/Florida Museum of Natural History and author of numerous books about the native peoples of the Southeast United States. James J. Miller was state archaeologist and chief of Florida’s Bureau of Archaeological Research for twenty years and is now a consultant in heritage planning.
