Grandpa Bob is a retired Florida public school teacher with a variety of teaching experiences including Florida's History and computers. He's had several articles and short stories published. He and his wife retired to the mountains of western North Carolina. Captivated by the true story of a 15 year old captured by the Calusa Indians (CALUSA !), Grandpa Bob got caught up in following Don Hernando De Soto exploration of La Florida - a ten state region today. As you follow De Soto listen to those who were there speak of their life adventure. Of course there's also the true story of a young woman during the Roaring 20's who live an exciting life as Queen Of the Everglades. Here's a liberated woman who took her pistol into the Sheriff's office , pointed it at him, and demanded that he back down. Take a look. It's a good read.
