Life & Death on the Loxahatchee, The Story of Trapper Nelson

First printing: 2002. Fourth edition: 2013

This is the story of a real-life Tarzan who paddled up Florida's wild Loxahatchee River in the early thirties and over sixty years amassed a thousand acres and hewed a popular tourist attraction. Some knew him as trapper, hunter and alligator wrestler. To others he was a celebrity host, snake charmer, voracious reader and woman charmer. When he was found dead of mysterious causes at age 59, many had a motive for murder. Who or what might have killed Trapper Nelson?
