A collection of colorful vignettes . . . [rendered] with haunting clarity . . . A pleasure to leaf through., A visually stunning account of bygone days. Storter's writings and primitive illustrations transport readers to the remote, half-wild frontier of the early part of the century, where encounters with panthers and alligators were not uncommon. As Storter recalls his travels through the great swamp, he describes the vast array of plant and animal life in simple words as fresh and unspoiled as the Everglades were at the time., "[Storter's] primitive but compelling paintings memorably capture the Everglades frontier. This wonderful book includes many of Storter's paintings, as well as his recollections of his experiences in the great swamp. He charmingly re-creates an era when moccasin bites, mail-order brides and panther hunts were common events. . . . A handsome book that should delight anyone with an interest in Florida history or nature."-- Tampa Tribune, "A beautiful, unadorned history that spans most of this century.Crackers in the Gladeprovides a nostalgic paean to fishing, family and the largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the U.S."--Publishers Weekly, "A meaningful first hand account of attitudes among a part of American culture during a time and in a location that have received less attention than many other geographical regions of the country.
