EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK
|
In 1930 an official delegation toured the Everglades and recommended
to Congress that a national park be created. Their visit and their report
helped convince Congress that the Everglades should be preserved.
The
delegation included Ernest F. Coe, chairman Tropic Everglades Park Association
(far right); Congressman Ruth Bryan Owen of Florida (fourth from right);
and Dr. David Fairchild, president Tropic Everglades Park Association
(fifth from right).
