Reviews
"The author is a perceptive observer who has produced a fascinating book well worth the attention of any reader interested in the state's wilderness treasures or storied history. Alderson has the knack of telling a good story and also excels in painting evocative word portraits of Florida's natural world. And, he also has a talent for writing funny. This is, in fact, one of those rare books that will often have the reader laughing out loud as he turns the pages."

" A highly readable and very interesting addition to the Universtiy Press of Florida's ongoing Florida History and Culture series. Waters Less Traveled will certainly send readers back to the book shelves to learn more about several of the topics highlighted in Alderson's book."
