Guy Bradley was killed in 1905 only three years into his tenure as game warden in a south Florida that was still very much a frontier. His murderer was a former Civil War sharpshooter who made his living supplying exotic plumage for women's hats. Bradley's death sent shock waves across America and helped give impetus to the environmental movement.
