- Summary:
- In the pantheon of Florida writers, Marjory Stoneman Douglas is cherished as the grande dame. Famous as the author of The Everglades: River of Grass, prolific as a writer and passionate as an environmental crusader for almost a century, and beloved today at age 108, she remains the nation's best link to a remarkable era in Florida history.
- The timeless themes of her stories in this new collection resonate with interest for readers today. Whether the subject is hurricanes, cockfighting, real estate deals, struggling immigrants, or corruption in the Everglades, Douglas wrote about it with distinction -- and usually first. Originally published in the Saturday Evening Post during the 1920s and 1930s, the golden age of the short story, these nine works have never before been collected or available in one place.
