Alligators, Marshes, Mining, and Medicine is about Weeks Island and Dr. Donald Pavy, who lived and practiced medicine there for ten years. Weeks Island is a salt dome in the marshes of coastal Louisiana. As a physician, ecologist, fisherman, and acquaintance with marsh and marsh people, Dr. Pavy has many, many stories to tell, and this little book is packed with facts. Most interesting is the chapter on alligators and two men who single-handedly captured large live alligators. One was the largest alligator caught alive by one man and is pictured in the book.
