    About this ebook

    Discover the hearts of three men: Osceola, Major Cooper and Johnny, unearthed by the blade of a bulldozer.
    Experience the real Florida in undisturbed wild woods, murky swamps and the dark water of the Withlacoochee River.
    The fusion of their missions entwines their lives in defense and protection and preservation of the land. The essence of those before us exists beneath the hammock and palmetto thickets.
