Everglades.

Loading the Internet Archive Bookreader, please wait...
Scope and content:
Historically, the story of the Town of Everglades began more than a thousand years ago in the little-known civilization of the coastal mound dwellers. These people left behind the huge shell mounds marking the sites of their settlements. Their strange ornaments of gold and shell, their wood paintings and other cultural relics are similar in some respects to those of the Aztec civilization of Mexico. They built ingenious fish traps and fashioned pottery which they decorated with abstract figures.
