Book Synopsis The Pioneers of South Florida by : Richard Murl Magers
Download or read book The Pioneers of South Florida written by Richard Murl Magers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to white men staking claim to all land in continental North America, large numbers of Native Americans lived in relative peace throughout the land. The Seminole Indian Tribe was quite small when the Civil War began, but when white men decided they wanted all of Florida, Indians saw an evil cloud forming in the sky. Soon, groups of different tribes were mixed and forced to head west on foot as Union Soldiers herded them from houseback. Mixing tribes was an act of stupidity, but splitting families and sending mother and some of the children one-way / father and children another, was an act of cruelty and hatred toward warriors they could not beat who fought so fiercely for their homeland. Few knew the difference between a Cherokee and a Seminole. A small group of Seminole warriors gathered their families and headed south toward the Everglades; a natural phenomenon-a moving river of grass that exists nowhere else on Planet Earth. They learned to exist in that hostile land and soon became comfortable. After three Seminole Wars they remain free and undefeated today, because white men whether soldier or civilian had never been able to defeat the Seminoles. They settled with the government for land they can use and money to repair damage. Once again, white men began heading for South Florida, but they were an honorable group looking for the same thing the Seminoles fought to the death for-a piece of land to live on and call Home. You will meet rugged dawn-to-dark cowboys in a hostile land that became the main beef source in America for decades until Texas took the lead. Everglades City and Chokoloskee has a fair share of pioneer kin that know how lucky they are to still be living in a paradise that pioneer's built.

Book Synopsis Lostmans Heritage by : Karen Yvonne Hamilton
Download or read book Lostmans Heritage written by Karen Yvonne Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lostmans Heritage tells the true story behind the Hamilton family that Peter Matthiessen first introduced to the world in his novel, "Killing Mr. Watson." The book follows the author's journey as she searches for her ancestors from the slave country of Savannah to the wilds of the Florida Everglades. Hamilton follows her ancestor, Richard Hamilton and his sons to the ending of an era when the National Park Service evicted the residents, the pioneers, of the Everglades. Along the way she uncovers secrets and stories, polygamy, bootlegging, fist fights, murders, gangsters, killers, and tales of tomahawks and missing schoolteachers.Noted Florida historian, Charlton Tebeau, once said, "The Hamiltons, to the disappointment of the romanticists, were neither pirates nor smugglers nor fugitives, but simple fishermen." While Tebeau was fascinated by the Hamiltons, and often referred to them as one of the 'lost tribes' of the islands, my research proves that he was wrong about them. They were fugitives, and they were smugglers. The Everglades was not a place for the average man at that time. You did what you had to do to feed your family.The men and women who settled in the Florida Everglades before the Civil War thrived in an environment that was dangerous and wild and ever changing. While others came and went, the pioneers faced every challenge nature and man threw at them and carried on. They may have migrated from island to island now and again, but the Everglades were their home. And they did what they had to do to survive.

Book Synopsis A History of the Pioneers by : John Viele
Download or read book A History of the Pioneers written by John Viele and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, on the Keys between Key West and the mainland, some 40,000 residents and thousands of visitors fish, swim, sail, and dive in the crystal clear waters off a tropical reef; relax in the sun and cooling trade wind breezes; and sleep in the air-conditioned comfort of their homes and hotel rooms. On these same islands, as short a time as 80 years ago, fewer than 300 inhabitants tried to eke out a living without benefit of electricity, running water, radios, or telephones. Tormented by clouds of voracious mosquitoes and no-see-ums, broiled by the tropical sun, they lived in thatched-roof homes regularly flattened by hurricane winds. Weeks would go by before some passing sailboat brought them news of the outside world or their relatives. The stories of these hardy pioneers and their predecessors, as far back as the Native Americans who lived on the Keys at least 1,000 years ago, are told, many for the first time, in this book. As vividly portrayed as if they were characters in a novel, these true-life inhabitants of the Florida Keys will capture your admiration as you share in the dreams and realities of their daily lives. Includes Don Diego, a Spanish-speaking native who led in shipwreck plundering in the early 18th century; Jacob Housman, an unscrupulous wrecking captain who amassed a fortune and lost it when Indians burned his town to the ground; Dr. Perrine, a scientist who was killed by Indians; the African Americans who made charcoal for the stoves of Key West; and the indomitable Lily Bow, who eked out a living on remote Cudjoe Key.
