PLEASE HELP! THE STORY IS DOWN BELOW

Pioneering in Florida

1 Ben Hill Doster moved his family from Atlanta, Georgia, to Jupiter, Florida, in 1894 to help his sister. Her husband had died, but she hoped to own 160 acres of land there as a homestead. She just needed to live on it for one more year.



2 Soon after they arrived, Ben Doster took his family on a boat ride up the Loxahatchee River. Suddenly, the air turned cold. Feeling agitated, Doster rowed hurriedly back to the tiny cabin, and the family huddled inside near a roaring fire. That night they heard sounds like gunshots, but the sounds turned out to be the trunks of orange trees exploding when they froze. The next morning, they awoke to find their 16-acre pineapple patch frozen and their garden vegetables dead.



3 Many new settlers left soon after the Big Freeze of 1894, but the Doster family stayed. They replanted their pineapples and their garden, and they also opened up a general store. Slowly, Doster’s wife and two daughters learned to love the land of southern Florida and respect its dangers.



4 In their first year, they began to recognize the sounds of the swamp at night. They thought of it as a nightly serenade; different types of frogs had distinctive calls. The tiniest frogs chirped “tea table, tea table.” The bullfrogs boomed “rung, rung, rung.” Owls hooted and birds called to their mates. Sometimes, alligators bellowed.



5 But one night they awoke to hear the painful scream of a woman. She sounded like she was nearby, so Mrs. Doster prepared to go outside to look for her. But Ben Doster stopped her at the door. He explained that when panthers screamed in the night, they sounded exactly like a woman in pain. No one should go outside to help because panthers were dangerous.



6 One of Doster’s daughters, Dora, later wrote about her memories of the time. She wrote lovingly of mangrove and cypress trees hung with Spanish moss. She saw white herons standing like statues waiting to pluck fish from the shallow water. Yellow and orange butterflies danced down a path in front of her. She thought the ocean before a hurricane looked like a vicious monster, curling its jaws and showing its teeth. She learned to watch for the poisonous snakes that lived along the paths.



7 Dora’s mother was a strong and brave woman. She stood up to panthers, alligators, and hurricanes. But for her, there was more than danger, beauty, and excitement. Dora’s father worked long hours at the store. Dora thought her mother must have gotten very homesick and lonely at the cabin. She saw her mother watch the trains pass to the east and listen to their mournful wails. Dora believed she often wanted to be on one of those trains, headed back home. She had grown up in Atlanta and had not planned to become a pioneer.
