Totch: A Life in the Everglades by Loren G. Brown

Moderator: Karen Grace

About the Book

“Totch Brown’s memoirs of vanished days in the Ten Thousand Islands and the Everglades–the last real frontier in Florida, and even today the greatest roadless wilderness in the United States–are invaluable as well as vivid and entertaining, for Totch is a natural-born story-teller, and his accounts of fishing and gator hunting as well as his life beyond the law as gator poacher and drug runner are evocative and colorful, fresh and exciting.”—from the foreword by Peter Matthiessen
