Description

Guy Bradley, born in Chicago in 1870, was killed in 1905 only three years into his tenure as game warden in a south Florida that was still very much a frontier.

His murderer, never prosecuted, was a one-eyed former Civil War sharpshooter who made his living supplying exotic plumage for women's hats.

At the time, an ounce of feathers was worth more than an ounce of gold.

Bradley's death sent shock waves across America and helped give impetus to the burgeoning environmental movement.
