Histories, novels and films featuring the Everglades, its colorful characters and the national park that preserves much of its remaining splendor could fill a room.
But the ones about Biscayne National Park, its ignored neighbor, could barely fill a shelf -- and most of those focus on shipwrecks or Black Caesar, pirate namesake of the creek between Old Rhodes and Elliott keys.
But as the park marks its 40th anniversary with a weekend of events, there is a small flurry of attention: two books and a role in a Ken Burns documentary on parks, scheduled to air nationally next fall.
''It's a great story, and it's so in keeping with the larger theme of our series,'' said writer and producer Dayton Duncan. ``You turn over the rock of every national park and what you find is not so much important senators but everyday people doing their utmost to save a precious part of the United States.''
That theme also runs through self-published accounts from the front lines of the fights that created -- and protected -- the park that encompasses much of Biscayne Bay.
In Biscayne National Park: It Almost Wasn't, Lloyd Miller chronicles the 1960s battles to create the park as a buffer against oil refineries, causeways and condos. In Everglades Betrayal: The Issue That Defeated Al Gore, Monika Mayr, a former Biscayne assistant superintendent, focuses on the seven-year fight to defeat a jetport at the park's border.
For Miller, now 88, the attention is long overdue for a park he believes many don't appreciate. It took a scrappy band of activists, which he helped lead, six years to turn the tide against projects backed by powerful business and political leaders.
''The fact that this park is here is nothing short of a miracle,'' Miller said. ``People should remember that little people can make a difference.''
Mayr's recount of the jetport war has similar elements, but the political maneuvers played on a larger stage, with ripple effects on the closest presidential election in U.S. history. Mayr, who arrived at the park in 1998, had a front seat for a dispute that reminded her of Western range wars. ''It's just fascinating when you add all the political elements,'' said Mayr, now head of Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi.
In 1994, with former Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas the chief cheerleader, the county awarded a no-bid lease to politically connected Latin developers who planned to turn Homestead Air Force Base, ravaged by Hurricane Andrew, into a commercial airport smack between Biscayne and Everglades national parks.
The fast-track project stalled as local environmentalists, alarmed by the prospect of hundreds of roaring takeoffs daily, shrewdly turned a local dispute into a national controversy that embroiled Vice President Al Gore's 2000 campaign for the White House. Gore, fearful of alienating Latin voters and his ally Penelas, never came out against the airport -- a stance environmentalists warned would come back to haunt him. In a race decided by 537 votes, it may have -- along with Ralph Nader's entry. Mayr, who writes in factual park service fashion, can tick off plenty of heroes, but she fingers no villains.
In Burns' documentary, the focus is Lancelot Jones, last survivor of a pioneering black family that settled Porgy Key in Biscayne Bay. Jones, a well-known fishing guide, rejected offers from investors with grand development schemes.
Jones, who died in 1997, helped kill the plan to develop a city called Islandia, siding with environmentalists and selling to the federal government. Duncan called Jones' pivotal role a key story in the concluding episode of the six-part documentary, The National Parks: America's Best Idea.
''He says the same thing about Biscayne Bay that Theodore Roosevelt said in 1903 on the rim of the Grand Canyon,'' Duncan said. ``That it should stay as it is.''
The Burns documentary will air on PBS stations next fall. Miller will sign his book, available at Biscayne and Everglades gift shops, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Biscayne's party near Homestead. Mayr's book is available online at www.EvergladesBetrayal.com but also will soon be at park bookstores.
