Everglades

This type of history project I find much more interesting than just reading the history book, because you can get a glimpse of how individuals are reacting to historical events. The journal entries from the Everglades Expedition were especially appealing because they talked about the expedition making their way to Fort Myers, my hometown. It was also amazing to imagine how they described Fort Myers in the 1890’s compared to what it is now; it still had Indian tribes living in the area. I found the other history engines to be remarkable. For example, the one about the old Rollins football team and how the opposing team left the Rollins football field covered in sandspurs, which later caused boils.
