Early Visitors to the Big Cypress circa 1930 The picture is in the Big Cypress. The edge of Lost Dog Prairie. Ellis Whidden is sitting above the drivers side wheel. Mr. Hayman is passenger, Bill is up top with "the Cook". My great Grandfather, Bennett Whidden traveled with Dr. Gainey and Lubey Yomens in the Everglades and they always brought "Cook" along, who was the cook. I never heard his name. My Grandpa (Ellis Whidden) always called him "Cook".



Model A Buggy Here is a model A buggy. It was Dr. Gainey's, but Jim Whidden (Grandpa's little brother) drove it every where.
