Book Description
Killer 'Cane takes place in the Florida Everglades, which was still a newly settled frontier in the 1920s. On the night of September 16, 1928, a hurricane swung up from Puerto Rico and collided, quite unexpectedly, with Palm Beach. The powerful winds from the storm burst a dike and sent a twenty-foot wall of water through three towns, killing over two thousand people, a third of the area's population. Robert Mykle shows how the residents of the Everglades had believed prematurely that they had tamed nature, how racial attitudes at the time compounded the disaster, and how in the aftermath the cleanup of rapidly decaying corpses was such a horrifying task that some workers went mad. Killer 'Cane is a vivid description of America's second-greatest natural disaster, coming between the financial disasters of the Florida real-estate bust and the onset of the Great Depression.

Book Description
He's not pro-choice. He's not pro-life. He's just pro wrestling. At age eleven, Ted Schuman witnessed one of the most inhumane crimes of the twentieth century: Baron Von Murder lost the heavyweight wrestling championship. Ted would witness many more injustices throughout his life, but none hurt as deeply as the Baron's loss. He had a moral obligation. He vowed to right the wrong. For six years Ted endured broken bones, barbed wire, lobster races, piranhas, and golf balls on his way to the top. Under the tutelage of his childhood hero Baron Von Murder, Ted became "Senator" Phil Schumacher, who was up until recently one of the top superstars of the professional wrestling business. In doing so, he has not only offended thousands of people with his controversial "evil politician" persona, but he's managed to hide from his personal demons as well. Now, in the twilight of his career, Senator Schumacher shares two lives with wrestling fans: the one he led, and the one he was afraid to.
