Produktbeschreibung

William Wallace Whidden was a true born free son of a Florida pioneer. He was reared in the SW Florida Palmetto woods, Cypress strands and Cabbage Palm Hammocks and plenty of Wild Oaks and Pine trees. His stories begin when he was around eight or nine years of age and continue through his late twenties. These stories are true events he experienced during his growing up years and reveal an innocent outlook on life with a terrific sense of humor. You will enjoy his many excursions and revel in their outcome. He always ended a story with a note of "lesson learned" or "we sure were glad to be home and safe again." His love of nature and living freely to hunt, fish, and run trap lines before fences was his idealistic life style. His innocent view of life shines through in each little story. The stories will bring a sense of pure joy to be living and breathing from the past, before Florida land was fenced off and "No Trespassing" signs were posted.

Autorenporträt

Louella Whidden Hollingsworth was the third daughter and sixth child of William Wallace Whidden and Pearl Ella Fought Whidden. During the 1980s and early 1990s, she spent ten years collaborating with her father, gathering his childhood stories. She loved her father's sense of humor and his innocent outlook on life, which shines through in his recounting of how he grew up and the events he experienced during open range in SW Florida, USA, during the early 1900s. Her father had grown up pioneer style. He had been free to travel with his parents and siblings by way of horse and wagon from their homestead in Desoto County across the open woods to the West Coast beaches at Lemon Bay. Lemon Bay was an inlet across the bay from Boca Grande Island and Little Gasperilla Island. Through these stories, she learned that her grandfather had been the son of a commercial fisherman and was the only Whidden descendent of that family to move inland and run cattle. These stories became her roots in the Florida soil.
