Voices of the Apalachicola
Voices of the Apalachicola is a book by Faith Eidse chronicling the history of the Apalachicola River in Northern Florida, United States. It was the winner of the 2007 Samuel Proctor Award.[1]
Its release of publication in 2006 coincided with increased awareness of the Florida-Georgia dispute over use of the river's resources, and the dying way of life of oyster fisherman in the Apalachicola River Basin, both of which were covered extensively by local press. The book contains oral histories of people who have worked and lived by the river, and builds a history of the culture and environment of the region, which is often regarded as one of the most endangered river systems in the United States.
Voices of the Apalachicola (ISBN 0813032121) is published by University Press of Florida, 352 pages.
