Among the casualties of our rapidly developing coastal areas is the loss of fishing villages like Cortez, Florida. With their passing also go the life ways of the fishing folk who have made these villages the special places that they are. Doris "Toodle" Green is a Cartesian by birth and a lifelong resident of this historic place. Being a daughter of fisherman Willis A. Adams and wife of fisherman Woodrow W. Green, commercial fishing is a subject and a life-style to her. She still lives in one of the village's historic houses, the Green family residence built in 1925. Mrs. Green has earned the title of "Village Historian" through her many years of researching and collecting historical information about Cortez. American history has always been a favorite subject and a genuine concern for historic preservation in her native village is the motivation behind this book. She has an extensive collection of historic photographs, many of which are reproduced here. These photographs with the collected stories from village history are a portrayal of an early Florida Fishing Village and show a life-style that is rapidly disappearing from our country's tidewater communities.
