Online Zoom: America's Alligator: A Popular History of Our Most Celebrated Reptile

> People have long been fascinated by the American alligator. Ever since humans arrived on the continent more than 15,000 years ago, the American alligator has been both feared and revered, celebrated and scorned, and often hunted for food and hide.
>
> America’s Alligator, a new book published by Lyons Press, examines the colorful and sometimes conflicted relationship our species has had with Alligator mississippiensis. Through photos and vintage souvenir items, author Doug Alderson will share some of our country's rich alligator mythology and how it inspired various forms of art, stories, photography, tourism and even humor.
