She said it read "like an old guy telling you what things were like when he was young." Well, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what this book is. HOWEVER--I thought his stories were pretty entertaining! I admire his commitment to the Everglades, and have much more understanding of how valuable an ecosystem it is. I wish so much hadn't been lost, and hope that at least some of what is left can be preserved. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
As law enforcement officer and game manager for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, Lt. Tom Shirley was the law in one of the last true frontiers in the nation?the Florida Everglades. In Everglades Patrol, Shirley shares the stories from his beat?an ecosystem larger than the state of Rhode Island. His vivid narrative includes dangerous tales of hunting down rogue gladesmen and gators and airboat chases through the wetlands in search of illegal hunters and moonshiners. During his thirty-year career (1955-1985), Shirley saw the Glades go from frontier wilderness to ""ruination"" at the hands of the Army Corps of Engineers. He watched as dikes cut off the water flow and controlled floods submerged islands that had supported man and animals for 3,000 years, killing much of the wildlife he was sworn to protect.
