In this bold new rendering, Matthiessen has cut nearly a third of the overall text and collapsed the time frame while deepening the insights and motivations of his characters with brilliant rewriting throughout. In \u003ci\u003eShadow Country,\u003c\/i\u003e he has marvelously distilled a monumental work, realizing his original vision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by a near-mythic event of the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century, Shadow Country reimagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E.
