Who made Longest canoe trip in the Everglades?

Ornithologist Orin Good Fogle and his wife, newspaper editor and publicist Barbara Home Stewart canoed 3,500 miles through Everglades National Park and Florida's Ten Thousand Islands in 1959-1960, paddling 1,500 miles and visiting the headwaters of all major rivers in the area. En route, they set a record for camping and surviving in the 'Glades--six months away from civilization--by catching and eating800 pounds of fish, plus wild foods to supplement the meager supply of 47 pounds of dry food they carried in their 17-foot canoe, NOCKATEE. Barbara is a member of The Explorers Club, the Society of Woman Geographers and the Outdoor Writers Association of America, and a

former lecturer for the National Audubon Society Wildlife Film Tours.
