“Gladesmen” were local people from the Everglades who built small homes and small boats (“glade skiffs”) that could adequately navigate through the narrow waterways. These men would leave for weeks or months at a time, building temporary encampments while they hunted and fished in almost complete isolation.
Today you can still find a small handful of people still living near the canals.
