Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Florida Everglades of a 100 years ago was a lawless frontier, a labyrinth of mangroves and shell mounds where renegades and desperadoes ⁹played out their lives beside fishermen and hunters. Into this hostile wilderness comes E. J. Watson, who is immediately admired by his neighbors. But deadly rumors surround Watson, and as his sugarcane plantation grows, so does the atmosphere of fear around him. Did Watson really gun down the famous female outlaw Belle Starr? How many others has he murdered? Will he kill again? Who is he really, this man of many aspects--devoted husband and father, gifted farmer, man of progress with grand schemes for making a fortune in the Everglades? Was this visionary also a cold-blooded killer? Or was he destroyed by fear and envy? This book is Peter Matthiessen's masterpiece, the culmination of his writing life--a novel that from a few fragments of historic fact remained the life of the enigmatic Watson. The contradictory Mister Watson awes and terrifies his neighbors, who love and admire, hate and fear him in equal measure. As the tale begins, in the eerie calm after the Great Hurricane of October 1910, they are gathered along the water's edge at twilight waiting for Watson's arrival. Rough deckled page edges.
