Turkey Grove

By Steve Lemasters

Over 500 years ago, Fighting Wolf, a Timucuan Indian was born in the wild and beautiful area south of Orange Lake, now known as Citra, Florida. Unfortunately, Fighting Wolf was born with a severe handicap. He compensated for his physical defect with his intelligence and his fierce determination. He faced almost certain death from a band of Cherokee Indians on what is now known as Paynes Prairie. He designed a new arrowhead used across Florida; he became a leader in his village.On a visit to the east coast, near what is now St. Augustine, Fighting Wolf discovered orange trees sprouted from seeds left by Ponce de Leon. He took seeds home and established an orange grove he called the Turkey Grove.When the Spanish returned to Florida, Fighting Wolf learned to speak Spanish and gained the respect of the Spanish leader. The fate of the Timucuans was in the hands of Fighting Wolf.A second ebook in this series, Crosby's Turkey Grove, continues the story of the turkey Grove when a citrus pioneer discovers the Turkey Grove and cares for it in the early 1900s.This is a story of a man with a handicap and his drive to succeed. It is a compelling story that will bring tears and smiles.
