Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 14: Program Magazine for the United Fellowship of Protestants; March 1956
The start was made from Brown's Store, a settlement on the Gulf side of the great swamp; Taking a leaf from the book Of the Seminole Indian who paddles as much as he walks, the party shoved off in canoes. Their supplies were dried fruits and staples, oil for fuel, and blankets to sleep on.
The going was hard from the very start. There were many places where the canoes could not be poled by water, but had to be dragged over land. When the party studied their progress, they found they were not making more than two miles a day, and sometimes not more than one. At the end of each day's struggle; there was food to be prepared and a new camp to be set up. Building a fire was out of the question, as wood and dry spots were not to be found in the Everglades. All the cooking had to be done over the oil lamp, but, before long, a famine of fuel threatened.
