Crackers in the Glade is a visually stunning account of bygone days in the Everglades. The largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the United States, the Everglades hold a unique place among all the world's wetlands. Through his writings and illustrations, fisherman, guide, and self-taught artist Rob Storter transports us to the remote, half-wild frontier of southwest Florida in the early part of the twentieth century. There, the events of a day could range from a hurricane to a face-to-face encounter with a panther to the arrival of the latest packet from Key West.

As Storter recalls his travels through the great swamp and its estuaries, he imparts an old-timer's grasp of the fantastic array of plant and animal life the Everglades once supported. Looking back over a life closely linked to the water, he chronicles how mechanized methods eclipsed the more sustainable approach of fishing as the livelihood of locals who were attuned to natural cycles and worked by necessity on a small scale.

Crackers in the Glade is also a story of family and community, of daily joys and setbacks. Here, Marilea Storter's recollections, some of which are included in the book, add depth and detail. By turns the family doctor, cook, teacher, and moral anchor, Marilea held husband Rob and their children together through times when the best house they had was a tent and medical care consisted of castor oil and prayers.

Rob Storter knew the Everglades before commercial fishing, real estate development, drainage projects, and tourism changed the region forever. Through his illustrations we can celebrate its wonders; through his writings we can contemplate the mixed benefits of progress and the responsibilities of stewardship.

Not for storage
Size: with legs
It’s too small to use as effective storage. It is mostly decor.

Cute and Functional Organizer
Size: with base, Size: with base
I’ve been using this cube organizer for my kids’ toys and it’s been really helpful. It fits a lot and keeps everything way more organized instead of toys all over the floor. One thing I really like is that the edges are rounded and not sharp, which makes me feel much better having it around the kids. It was pretty easy to put together and feels sturdy enough for everyday use.

Such an adorable storage organizer. It is just perfect for my child’s place space. It works great with the storage bins and for large books. It was pretty easy to assemble it and it’s not very heavy. I can easily move it by myself. Highly recommend the seller.

So beautiful and stylish
Size: with legs, Size: with legs
Very happy with this shelf! It has a clean, modern look, and the rounded edges make it feel more stylish and cozy in the room. Assembly was quick and straightforward — the instructions were clear, and all parts fit perfectly. The unit feels sturdy and stable, with no wobbling. The cubes are spacious enough for books, storage boxes, and decor. I also really like the removable back panels — they give you flexibility to change the look or keep some sections open for a lighter feel. Great value for the price. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it!
