It seems certain that Watson did some killing in his day; nobody is sure how much or with what justification, if any. It has been said that when a cane-cutter, one of Watson's employees, complained at the dinner table about the way some peas were cooked, Watson took him outside, not to upset the housekeeper with a mess on the floor, and cut his throat.
It has also been said that at the end of the cane-cutting season Watson was inclined to economise on pay-day by shooting the casual labour- ers. And 'when Ed Watson shot something, it stayed shot'.
On the other hand, he was admired as an industrious and efficient planter and builder and an affectionate family man who always treated his wives well — the three who were legitimate and the two who weren't. In Lost Man's River, Matthiessen follows the obsessive quest of Watson's loyal son, Lucius, to find out what his father did, what really happened to him, and why. Many years after the events in question, Lucius, in old age, travels all over the state, interrogating countless reluctant witnesses and surviving kin.
The resulting portrait is realistically ambiguous. Peter Matthiessen has achieved perfect mastery of the local redneck vernacular. The dialogue is marvellously convincing. He practises understatement against which descriptions of horrors stand out in stark relief. There are passages of quiet lyricism; and, incidentally, with sharp relevance all along the way, he preaches miniature ser- mons against the massacre of fish and game, the poisoning of the waters of the Everglades with nitrates and pesticides, and the clearances of forest for Golden Years Estates, golf courses and shopping malls.
