Description
A Brief History of the Everglades City Area
By: Marya Repko
Paperback
In this second edition, there is a profusion of historical pictures to complement the author’s well-received text which describes the struggles of pioneers, Collier’s building of the City and the Trail in the 1920s, the growth of Chokoloskee, and the farming and logging industries in the outlying towns of Ochopee, Copeland, and Jerome. The area still has a unique character in its rural setting and the book outlines the changes that have taken place up to Hurricane Wilma.
