Description

Returning from Vietnam carrying lead in his back & the jungle in his mind, the author disappears into the Florida Everglades, the one place in America most like the jungles of Vietnam. He begins to track the endangered Florida panther to savve it - & himself. JAMES MCMULLEN lives in Naples, Florida, on the edge of the Everglades. "A surpassing statement about the great spirit that unites all living things." -- MIAMI HERALD. "The author's relentless, compassionate stalking of the panther is show more eerily projected against his uncontrollably returning combat experiences, so that the Vietnam jungles & the Everglades merge into a third realm where everything is nightmarish, but also...paradisiacal." -- James Dickey, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW show less

Bill had James P McMullen to Barnes and Noble Fifth Avenue store April 4, 1997. James gave a talk.
Margaret and Bill took him to lunch. He gave the poster that we have framed in the cat house. Inscription: "Bill - Thank you so much for fulfilling my dream. Panther will always be in your dreams.
We will do it again. Just say when."
