So he asked local historian Rodney Dillon if there were any books on the Intracoastal Waterway. "I asserted, 'Well, I may mull it over ' " Crawford recalled. It was created by a self-described "dry land sort of guy.". "This was an area of Florida's history that hadn't been explored before.". "Writing is something that never came straightforward to me" he revealed. "I had to be taught how to write and then I had to learn the historical method." to explain, don't recite dates, but tell a tale. There came 10 years of weekends spent writing and holidays that morphed into research excursions. "I read plenty of legal documents" he claimed. Another advantage was his better half, Claire, who helped with research questions and to whom he dedicated the work. "There is no way I may have written this journal without Claire" he announced. "It isn't a quick read ; it's a particularly weighty book" Crawford announced. "He has outbuilding new light on a subject that hasn't been studied to this degree before.".
