Oranges And Alligators: Sketches Of South Florida Life is a book written by Iza Duffus Hardy in 1887. The book is a collection of sketches that provide a vivid and detailed portrayal of life in South Florida during the late 19th century. The author has beautifully captured the essence of the region through her descriptions of the natural surroundings, the people, and their way of life. The book is divided into different sections, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of life in South Florida. The first section talks about the region's climate, flora, and fauna, with a particular emphasis on the abundant orange groves and the menacing alligators that lurked in the swamps. The second section provides a glimpse into the lives of the local people, including the Seminole Indians, the fishermen, and the farmers. The third section is dedicated to the various attractions and activities that were popular in South Florida at the time, such as hunting, fishing, and boating. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era, and it offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of South Florida. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the region's rich heritage and natural beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
