The Florida Everglades are widely regarded as a wild country. But no trip through the River of Grass was ever as wild as that of polymath adventurer Bill Argo. Crossing the peninsula, his party encounters the seemingly improbable: elaborate Egyptian gardens, herds of African wildlife, a famed fountain, and imposing, otherworldly beings. As Argo soon discovers, disentangling the mysterious meaning of it all requires carefully revisiting the past. Millard Horton penned this novel in 1922, becoming arguably the first work of soft science fiction set amidst the Florida Everglades. This quirky jaunt through space and time is a "tall tale" of epic proportions that surprises readers with familiar figures from history.
