The author tells the dramatic story of the murder of Guy Bradley, one of America's first environmentalists. Bradley, a reformed Florida plume hunter, was hired in 1902 as game warden of Monroe County, and was killed while trying to enforce a law prohibiting the capture of birds for their plumage. McIver offers a well-researched account of the struggle between environmentalists and the plume hunters. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
