Queer American Rivers by F R Spearman
In Floridas rivers one may ride in an ox cart when waters run high and travel miles across country behind oxen. The rivers are shallow and tales speak of steamboats on heavy dews and paddle wheels. Florida, bearded oaks and palmed shores, hosts diverse wildlife and a tropical landscape that contrasts with the western plains.
