The Everglades: River of Grass
''The Everglades: River of Grass'' is a non-fiction book written by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1947. Published the same year as the formal opening of Everglades National Park, the book was a call to attention about the degrading quality of life in the Everglades and remains an influential book on nature conservation as well as a reference for information on South Florida. It was used as recently as 2007 by the ''New York Times''.〔Greenfield, Beth (March 0, 2007). "Slipping Slowly Into South Florida's Grassy Water." ''The New York Times'': Escapes; AMERICAN JOURNEYS Everglades National Park; Pg. 3.〕
==Background==
Douglas was a freelance writer who submitted stories to magazines throughout the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Her friend Hervey Allen was an editor at Rinehart, responsible for the ''Rivers of America Series''. Allen asked her to write a story about the Miami River, but Douglas did not find it very interesting, calling it only "an inch long".〔Mason, Kathy. "Marjory Stoneman Douglas." The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives, Volume 5: 1997-1999. Charles Scribner's Sons, 2002.〕 She began learning more about the Miami River though, and in her research, she instead suggested to her editor to write a story about the Everglades. Douglas spent five years researching the Everglades, consulting with Garald Parker of the US Geological Survey, who was studying the Everglades hydrology systems, and eventually wrote nearly 40 papers on the ecosystems in the Everglades.〔Davis, Jack (January 2003). "'Conservation is now a dead word': Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the transformation of American environmentalism." ''Environmental History'' 8 (1) p. 53-76.〕
