Product Description
by Marsanne a. Petty (Author)
In early 1875, Charles Pendleton and George Haines made an exploratory trip into the swamp, which was considered a great wasteland until then. Their short trip was enough to fuel their interest and kindle the interest of fellow Americans and The Atlanta Constitution quickly picked up the adventure, publishing a long term series about the Spring expedition. This compilation of articles about the Okefenokee Swamp provides the reader with a sense of the daily adventure of 1875, learning of new discoveries and dangers, hardships and glimpses of beauty, with writing so descriptive that the reader can imagine himself there.
