The Everglades is not an empty swamp. It is a homeland, a water system, a
workplace, and a landscape where memory clings to roads, canals, storms, and
abandoned plans.
Across twenty-seven illustrated chapters, Jonah Bell follows ancient waterways
and Miccosukee survival, Black families at Flamingo and Cape Sable, the women
who helped save Royal Palm, and game warden Guy Bradley's fatal fight against
the plume trade. The journey continues through Everglades City, the Tamiami
Trail, Snake Road, Alligator Alley, Ochopee, Loop Road, Big Cypress logging,
oil drilling, wildfire, flood control, and the long effort to repair the flow
of water.
The book also examines the jetport controversy, the making of Big Cypress
National Preserve, and the Everglades crash sites of Northwest Orient Flight
705 and ValuJet Flight 592. Documentary history, community memory, folklore,
and unresolved claims are kept distinct while preserving the atmosphere that
made these stories endure.
*Ghosts, Legends & Lore from Florida: The Everglades* is written for history
readers, South Florida residents, visitors, hosts, lodging operators, and
anyone building a Florida home library or guest-room collection.
