Swamper sees Okefenokee as a miracle
Will Cox, a long time swamp guide and patriarch of the Okefenokee Swamp, recalls how the vast 600 square mile wilderness survived years of logging, hunting, and exploitation. He guided lumber surveys and later scientists, witnessing the swamp’s revival as animals and trees returned. Now recovering from surgery, his spirit and knowledge remain strong.
