In The Boy Aviators on Secret Service, the second volume of the Boy Aviators' series, we find them in the mysterious region of the everglades.
"The Boy Aviators' Flight for a Fortune"
Wilbur Lawton
One is reminded of the low lands of Florida and Louisiana, where the air at certain seasons is heavily laden with the perfume of the lotus-like magnolia, empress of the everglades.
"The Story of Malta"
Maturin M. Ballou
The white troops marched through Florida down to and into the everglades, and crossed it backwards and forwards, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean; they hunted their foes from morass to morass and from hummock to hummock; they mapped out the whole hitherto unknown country; they established numerous posts; opened hundreds of miles of wagon road; and built very many causeways and bridges.
"Thomas Hart Benton"
Theodore Roosevelt
