Tate Barkley is back setting out to the vast and ominous swampland west of Orlando. Tate meets up with the odd and ornery little bald "perfessor" named Monk, who sells elixirs from his odd contraption of a wagon. Tate and Monk-and an odd assortment of other characters-follow a trail that draws them ever deeper into that vast forbidding swampland near the headwaters of the Withlacoochee River. This Cracker Western will have your spine tingling as it races on to the final all-out showdown
This is a great leisure or vacation book. Lee Gramling's book Ghosts of the Green Swamp, provides readers a view at the Florida of the mid 1800's. Tate Barkley is the main character of the "Cracker Western", and the book does a great job of showing the life on the frontier of Florida and provides a few plot twists and enough action for most action-adventure readers. It is part of a series of books about life in frontier Florida that seem to be authentic and accurate.
