The Southern Frontier: A road-less, watery wilderness, uninviting
and intimidating to all but the most stouthearted and adventurous.
As great cities were springing up in places with names such as St.
Louis, Denver, and San Francisco, the lower peninsula of Florida
endured. Here, the panther, the alligator, and the bald eagle
remained safe from the restless, meddlesome hands of civilization,
continuing as they had for eons past. Renegade Indians, pirates,
hurricanes, and man-eating animals - not to mention poisonous
snakes and bloodthirsty hordes of mosquitoes - reigned supreme. It
took a certain kind of person to boldly venture into such an
inhospitable environment where a man had only himself and his
family upon which to depend. It took men and women with not only
vision, but backbone and grit, people like the MacLeods, Dawsons,
and Hackensaws, true pioneers who confronted whatever came their
way, together, as a family. From shipwrecks, to Indian uprisings,
to buried treasure; blockade runners, to murderous beach tramps,
and the sad, lonely life of the solitary beachcomber, Tales of Old
Florida takes the reader back to a singular time and place that
will never be seen again. Above all, Tales of Old Florida is an
epic saga of survival and prosperity, love and love lost, and most
importantly, the power of the human spirit to prevail.
