Synopsis

In 15,000 BP, indigenous people in Siberia begin a journey that will take them across the land-bridge to North America. They build dugout canoes to carry them down the Pacific Coast of California to the tip of Baja. They cross the Sea of Cortez into Mexico, and then cross Central America by river until reaching the Caribbean Sea. Leaving Colombia, they travel through small islands and eventually come to Cuba. Traders have told them stories of a land north of Cuba where the land is flat and never cold. After crossing they find the Florida Keys and then venture north along the western coast of Florida. After landing in a protected bay, they go ashore and create a village near the bay. In time they become known as Calusa, and dominate Southwest Florida for 2,000 years. Early in the 1,500s the Spaniards arrive in the same area, and a very short time later, the Calusa are threatened with extinction. A few find their way back to Cuba, but it's the end of the Calusa.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I began reading old western dime novels when I was seven. My Uncle Jim read them, and then kept each one in a cigar box for me. It was 1942, and because of the war, books were a child’s treasure. By age 12, I had read five cigar boxes of Zane Grey westerns, and a stack of other books. After each book, I felt a burning urge to write one myself, but I was born with the Gypsy desire to travel, so I put off writing, and chased adventures. At 17, I was learning to fly airplanes, and for the next 10 years, my dad’s best friend, who had taught me to fly, allowed me to fly his little Aircoupe. I flew it to Cuba, Key West, and the Bahamas to enjoy another love, fishing. In 1976, my new Pilot License allowed me to go farther in search of adventure and stories to write. I am now working on my fifteenth book, and at almost 80, I am enjoying writing more than ever. Rick Magers www.grizzlybookz.net
