A propos de cet article

Four volume set. Octavo, softbound (slick, stiff white wrappers), 201 pp + 130 pp + 264 pp + 150 pp. Fine. From lower cover of first volume: This book is about Bruce Coggins, a young farm boy, who was born in the blackwater country of north Florida at the turn of the century. He was orphaned at 16, and was unjustly sent to prison where he escaped. This book is the account of his flight through the wilderness of central Florida to find succor among the Seminole Indians and the catfish fishermen living on the shore of Lake Okeechobee. Although the characters and events described are fictional, the setting and the surrounding circumstances are entirely authentic, and in addition to enjoying a crackling good yarn, readers will catch a rare glimpse of Florida s it existed 100 years ago. From lower cover of second volume: This book is about bounty hunting in Florida and egret plume poaching in the Everglades at the turn of the Century. Bruce Coggins, a young farm boy from Northern Florida was orphaned at 16, and unjustly sent to prison, where he escaped. This book tells of his marriage by a Seminole chieftain, his nearly fatal encounter with a bounty hunter, and his work as an undercover operative for the Audubon Society in the Everglades. From lower cover of third volume: This book is about the continuing story of Bruce Coggins in 19th century Florida and his efforts to live a private life and pursue his own interests. Unfortunately for Bruce, he is too talented a tracker and solver of range and Everglades mysteries to be left alone. Wade Range, field representative of the Florida Cattlemen's Association needs to solve a rustling problem. He enlists the help of Bruce who, for some very personal reasons, cannot say no. This adventure sees Bruce defend himself and Fannie against would-be assassins, natural disasters, untrusting ranchers and his own past. Disguised as Seminole Indians, Bruce and Fannie uncover a clever rustling scheme, and along the way some careless ranching habits, all part of the excitement of 19th century Florida. From lover cover of fourth volume: This book is about Bruce Coggins and his wife, Fannie, set in 19th century Florida. Their efforts to lead quiet lives among their Seminole friends on the shore of Lake Okeechobee are interrupted as Bruce's skills as a tracker are required if two escapees (and later an associate of the criminals) are to be captured and brought to justice. This is the fourth in a series of Bruce Coggins novels by the author who, as he has done with his other novels, weaves a fascinating plot utilizing the wetlands and wilds of southern Florida as a backdrop for this adventure. In this story the characters encounter much of the excitement Nature can provide to those outside the comfort of city living, including annoyed alligators, snakes, wild boar and the sometimes cruelty of weather to the careless or unprepared. Bruce has encountered obstacles before, and has always managed to overcome them. In this story, his fortunes take a turn for the worse, although damage is limited -- thanks to friends and Fannie, and a little bit of luck.
