The Florida State Archives on Flickr uploads historic photos and now videos. This one may interest those who routinely visit the glades.


This is an excerpt of an original film produced by businessman and adventurer Homer Augustus Brinkley in 1928 to illustrate the exotic environment found in the Everglades. Brinkley lived among the Seminole Indians for a few months. He later used the film in a traveling show that included a live caged bear and himself dressed as a Seminole Indian. Photographed by William B. Feeland, the film contains some of the earliest moving footage of Seminole Indians. In this excerpt, a Seminole man poles a dugout canoe with a woman and two children along a waterway in the Everglades. Then in a segment titled "returning from the hunt," the man, woman, and children are seen returning to camp after a hunting trip, and the man is carrying the game they killed.
