About the Author

Robin C. Brown grew up in Tampa and received his M.D. degree from Tulane University. He practiced medicine in Fort Myers for thirty-six years. A lifelong interest in the early history of Florida led to his first two Pineapple Press books: Florida's Fossils and Florida's First People. He wrote The Crafts of Florida's First People for children because so many fans asked him to.

Reviews

"Authoritative, readable, and splendidly illustrated...told sympathetically and factually, relying on modern archaeological findings and the author's own experiments with native technology...a book for all ages."
