The Wreckers — Tim Robinson

This story appears in Tim Robinson's first novel, "Tales of Old Florida." In this edition it has been re-formated for young readers. Shipwrecks, pirates, buried treasure; desolate windswept islands, jungled forests, and the mysterious Everglade â€" dark and foreboding to all but the Seminole and Miccosuki. Imagine growing up in such a place, no one for miles around, only you and your family. This is the world young Charlie MacLeod was born into. To him it is nothing unusual. It is simply home.
