About This Item
University Press of Florida, 1990-05-19. Paperback. New. 1990 University of North Florida Press (Jacksonville, Florida), 6 x 9 inches tall trade paperback, xviii, 198 pp. New, still sealed in publisher's clear wrap. ~SP21~ [1.5P] The nine stories in this first collection, satisfyingly diverse in plot and theme, take place in a scattering of South Florida settings - Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, the Tamiami Trail, the Keys, Hillsboro Inlet, the Everglades. In among the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped convicts, and smugglers, Douglas plants flags that mark the stories as her own: plume hunters who threaten Florida's ibises, irrational schemes to drain the Everglades, what happens when human beings collide with nature in the form of water, weather, or wildlife. Contents: Introduction; Pineland; A bird dog in the hand; He man; Twenty minutes late for dinner; Plumes; By violence; Bees in the mango bloom; September; remember; The road to the horizon. Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890-1998) was an American journalist, author, women's suffrage advocate, and conservationist known for her staunch defense of the Everglades against efforts to drain it and reclaim land for development.
