Get ready for an adventure

Everglades Lawmen tells a great story about the many and varied jobs facing today's game wardens. The books goes into the early game wardens and the skills needed to get the job done in the "good old" days. The tragic stories of man killer alligators and the role of game wardens in protecting the species. Some great "war stories" about chasing and catching some interesting and colorful poachers. Huffstodt does a great job telling about the many dangers facing today's game warden which the majority of the public has no idea about.Highly recommended to anyone who cares about the natural resources left and what is needed to protect them.

Everglades Lawmen - True and Exciting Stories!

If you are interested in conservation and the outdoors, you'll really enjoy this book. The true tales of the people who dedicate their lives to protect our resources, are not only exciting, but served to enhance my appreciation of the jobs they do. I sent this book to my brother (an officer in Pennsylvania), to reinforce that while most calls end up as "routine", there is no such thing as a routine call. This book doesn't disappoint!

Everglades Lawmen - Excitement in the Wind

Mr. Huffstodt did an excellent job of imparting to the reader the feel of the Everglades and the dedication necessary to protect the wildlife of this region. One could almost feel the wind blowing in your face as you travel by airboat across the pages of Everglades Lawmen. Thanks for a great read and I am looking forward to the next book by the author.

A Major's Perspective

I found "Everglades Lawmen" to be great reading. A must for every Game Warden and outdoor enthusiast. I was impressed with the cohesive manner in which the author was able to bring the many stories together and make the book so interesting. Having been familiar with many of the events depicted in the book, it is very obvious that the author did his homework. I highly recommend it to readers of all ages and interests. It's what Game Wardens do every day and what they all take for granted, but most people in our society never hear about.

Everglades Lawmen - A real page turner!

Jim Huffstodt has done a terrific job of presenting true to life stories of some of the bravest men in law enforcement. Florida's conservation officers do not receive the public recognition that they deserve. This book reveals the dangers these men face daily, often alone and far from help. It will leave you wanting more! Let's hope for a sequel.
