The Calusa and their legacy

About this book

"The Calusa were the most powerful native people on the Gulf coast, their influence spanning south Florida and lasting well into the European invasion. For the first time, The Calusa and Their Legacy tells the story of this little known Native American people in relation to the unique environment that sustained them with such abundance that they never depended on a staple crop or large-scale agriculture. This history is enhanced with authentic illustrations created by artists at the Florida Museum of Natural History."--Jacket.
