...miles long and up to six miles wide. St. Thomas offers the bustle of Charlotte Amalie, the islands' capital city, as well as ancient forts and quaint Danish architecture. St. Croix, quieter and less populated, boasts a rain forest and an arid, cactus-studded bluff, wildlife (deer, quail), a profusion of tropical fruit from papaya to pineapples, a golf course, and old plantations with such calypso names as "Slob," "Humbug" and "Jealousy." St. John remains mostly unsettled, its rugged terrain a protected national park; but for the wealthy it has the Rockefellers' exclusive resort at Cancel Bay, where...
...characterization may have been softened by Harper's editors even before the Kennedys entered the dispute. At one point, Manchester had intended to start the book with an episode in which he contrasts L.B.J.'s love of hunting to J.F.K.'s "haunting" recollection of shooting a deer on L.B.J.'s ranch in 1960. The incident, which makes Johnson seem a heartless killer while Kennedy gets "an inner scar" from shooting a deer, is still in the book, but has considerably less anti-Lyndon impact than if it had launched the entire epic.

Our land grows palm trees and pine, redwoods and beach plum, vanishing Key deer and whooping cranes. Our people say 'you all' and 'youse'; catch shrimp and sell stocks; live in lean-tos, skyscrapers and stucco bungalows. There's never been such a fiercely diverse land...
...most he personally tested on the trails. In a spare, hardsell style that would be instructive to many an advertising copywriter, the catalogue once plugged a Combination Compass, Match Case and Whistle by noting that "the Whistle is loud enough to be heard a long distance." Bean's Deer Toter, a stretcher ingeniously rigged to a bicycle wheel, was described as a contrivance on which "your deer looks so much better than when dragged over the ground." The catalogue also promoted Bean's two highly successful books. One of them, Hunting, Fishing and Camping, a slender, lore-packed...
