The last frontier is no more. Commercial fishing has been banned in Everglades National Park, and the locals were forced to find other means of work, but no one expected drug-smuggling to become big business in a small sleepy fishing village with less than one thousand people in population called Everglades City, Florida, and an island called Chokoloskee. The intertwined and dense mangrove system of the Ten Thousand Islands that surrounded the area and with remote locations provided a perfect environment for smugglers to bring and hide their drugs until they could deliver them for big profits. The Daniels family knew the backcountry of the Everglades and the complicated waterways of the area and knew how to travel through the shallow and treacherous waters and go through other passages unknown to anybody else. The Daniels family were sought after and hired to bring in large loads of drugs from South and Central America, as well as a few other countries. This family was born in the area and knew it like the backs of their hands. The Daniels crew was dubbed the "Saltwater Cowboys" because of their daring and reckless style and the "Ghost People of the Everglades" because they could disappear at a blink of an eye. Their wild and daring stunts happened on the high seas as well as in the complicated waterways of the Ten Thousand Islands. These boys could turn into a cluster of mangroves and disappear into another waterway just behind it. This adventurous family that turned outlaw became the largest importer of drugs into the United States that ran throughout our country. This area was world-renowned to some of the largest cartels or drug-smuggling rings around today and now call Everglades National Park their home.

The 100 year old Smallwood Trading Post/Museum on Chokoloskee Island, Florida is a 20 mile trek that begins in Naples, crosses the Everglades on Tamiami Trail (US 41) and turns south on Highway 29. You will go through Everglades City, the infamous little fishing village where, arguably, one hundred thousand tons of marijuana was brought in by local smugglers during the 70s and 80s. Once you arrive in Chokoloskee, no longer an island, since a causeway brought the inhabitants into a modern world they had no use for. A book by Peter Matthiessen: Killing Mister Watson, the true account of the local vigilantes that had been bullied by Edgar Watson since he arrived from Oklahoma Territory. While there, he and Belle Starr developed a hate for one another. One night, after Belle was paid a very large sum for her part in a bank robbery, she was found dead from a shotgun blast, and the money was gone. Very small boot prints led straight to Edgar's cabin. It was well known that for a tall, stout man, with more muscles than most, Edgar had extremely small feet. There was no eye witness, so the sheriff was forced to free him. Edgar walked out of the jail, and left his wife and children to fend for themselves, as he headed south. There have been many claims over the years, after Watson was gunned down for killing the help on his small plantation, 20 miles east of the Smallwood Trading Post, that he killed them rather than pay them. Ghosts are regularly seen inside, under, and throughout the vicinity. Letters have been sent by tourists who visited the Museum to take photos, that stated they would never return because, "We can see ghosts in every photograph." Were they simply hysterical people who wanted badly to see the ghost of Edgar Watson, Ted Smallwood, Green, Big Hannah, numerous black men, and a few foolish men who challenged the deadly killer, Mister Watson. Professional ghost seekers have received permission from the Smallwood owners of the museum, to come inside and use their search equipment, and also photograph ghosts. Some said they recorded several ghosts, and photographed some of them. Others said, "There is so much paranormal activity in here, no doubt due to so much killing done by Edgar Watson, and the killing of him, that one day something bad will happen at this museum, so we are never coming back. Read this first, and then alter next year's itinerary, and visit Everglades City and Chokoloskee. Bring your camera, and you just might take a ghost home with you.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK A modern classic of personal journalism, The Orchid Thief is Susan Orlean’s wickedly funny, elegant, and captivating tale of an amazing obsession. Determined to clone an endangered flower—the rare ghost orchid Polyrrhiza lindenii—a deeply eccentric and oddly attractive man named John Laroche leads Orlean on an unforgettable tour of America’s strange flower-selling subculture, through Florida’s swamps and beyond, along with the Seminoles who help him and the forces of justice who fight him. In the end, Orlean—and the reader—will have more respect for underdog determination and a powerful new definition of passion. In this new edition, coming fifteen years after its initial publication and twenty years after she first met the “orchid thief,” Orlean revisits this unforgettable world, and the route by which it was brought to the screen in the film Adaptation, in a new retrospective essay.
