PLAN CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Rivers have always held a special importance and fascination for man. In the earliest days, interest in rivers centered on the more material things; a source of water, a means of transportation, a habitat of edible fish and fowl, and wastewater disposal. While these may still be important for modern man, rivers today have assumed yet another dimension in their ability to serve a wide variety of natural resource preservation and outdoor recreation needs. Whether for scientific research, education, boating, fishing, canoeing or simply marveling at the handiwork of nature, rivers and streams in all their diversity constitute one of the most valuable of natural resources. But rivers, like most things in nature, are susceptible to drastic change at the hands of humans. They may be bridged for highways, dammed for hydroelectricity, dredged for navigation and canalized for water control. Their banks may be cleared and their attendant marshes and swamps drained or filled for development. While much of this change, good and bad, may be inevitable as a side-effect of human growth and activity, it is unfortunately true that most of it diminishes the biological and recreational potential of affected rivers.

The answer to that question will probably never be known for certain. In the colorful history of Hobe Sound is a mystery dating back to 1968 that remains unsolved to this day. But the story begins long before that historical date. Life began for Vincent Nostokovich (aka Vincent Natulkiewicz) in about 1908 in Trenton, New Jersey. In later years he would be known as Vince “Trapper” Nelson. Vince was an imposing figure standing at 6ft, 4in tall and weighing in the neighborhood of 240 pounds. He was reported to be a very handsome man, often pursued by the ladies. His story takes many twists and turns to reach the point where his Wildman of the Loxahatchee life suddenly ended on July 30, 1968 at what is known today as Photo Credit Dreaming in the Deep South the Trapper Nelson Zoo Historic District in Jonathan Dickinson Nelson testified against him at the trial for Dykas’ murder and State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida. Charles was sentenced to 20 years at Raiford Prison. Vince As a youth, after the death of his mother and subsequent became disillusioned with civilization and he withdrew from the remarriage of his father, he left home in New Jersey traveling beach, settling deep in the woods on the Loxahatchee River. west by hopping freight trains. He lived in Colorado, Mexico Using what little money he had, and some borrowed from his and Texas, even being jailed in Mexico on suspicion of sister, he bought 800 acres.

  • The John Dubois Family of Jupiter: a Florida Prototype, 1887-1981
    The John DuBois Family of Jupiter: A Florida Prototype, 1887-1981 By Harry A. Kersey, Jr.* One of the most striking vistas on the east coast of Florida today is the panoramic view from the old DuBois home, perched high atop an ancient Indian shell mound in northern Palm Beach County. To the northwest across the broad Loxahatchee River the stately old Jupiter Lighthouse, which was first lit in 1860, stands sentinel on a high point 6f land at the confluence of the Loxahatchee and Indian Rivers. The tidal basin thus formed flows swiftly to meet the Atlantic Ocean some three quarters of a mile to the east at the treacherous and beautiful Jupiter inlet. Upstream beyond the town of Jupiter the river also branches into a north and south fork, each of which meanders for miles through stands of native palm and hardwood hammocks. The north fork of the Loxahatchee, in particular, is counted among the significant "wild rivers" remaining in this country. Despite the influx of population which has recently begun to crowd the water's edge, this picturesque region still retains much of the charm which attracted young Harry DuBois when he first saw it in the 1880's.1 Since that time the DuBois family has been an integral part of the Jupiter area's social history, and in many respects they reflect a life-style typical of many other pioneer families whose fortunes rose or declined in *Dr. Kersey is a professor of education at Florida Atlantic University.
