Made into a 1976 Disney film The Treasure of Matecumbe, starring Peter Ustinov and Robert Foxworth Davie Burnie, his uncle Jim and faithful servant Zebediah flee Kentucky and the Ku Klux Klan down the Mississippi River headed for Key West. Along the way they gather companions – Dr. Snodgrass and his daughter, Millie, and Lauriette Paxton. After close encounters with the Klan, aid from Seminoles and a reformed pirate, they settle on Upper Matecumbe (now Islamorada) to raise pineapples. A major hurricane sweeps away their lodging and farm, but they resolve to build again. Lots of FL history and a good bibliography. no reviews | add a review

I'm always surprised when I consider the fact that, apparently, very few people have read this book. Get out there and find yourself a copy! Oh, and by the way - avoid the Disney film version at all costs. It has nothing in common with the book. ( )
