Everglades book

[hillrunnerfl]

Found a great book, called Everglades Lawmen by James Huffstodt.
You guys want to read about the early glades, gator poacing, deer shining, and a lot more about the old days, you need to read this.

A "LOT" about the first airboats. No guards, model "A" motors with airplane props right behind your head, game wardens flying and getting run over by the boat.
Great book.

It sure is a great book. Lots of good photos in it also.
There was quite a bit about Norman Padgett in there as well.

There is another great book called 40 years in the everglades by Clavin R Stone. Real good book if you can find it.
