Book summary


Watson, a newcomer to the lawless Everglades, is greatly admired by his neighbors for his growing sugarcane plantation. But as it grows, so does the mystery that surrounds him--did he really shoot and kill Belle Starr? Did he kill anyone else? He is a devoted husband and father, gifted farmer, man of progress, and visionary. But is he also a killer? And will his neighbors ultimately rise up against him? Peter Mattheissen reconstructs what could have happened based on the barest of facts and much local legend and conjecture.
