Tropic Scenes Along the St Johns in Florida Travel Notes
The Star Correspondence from Florida dated March 27 describes a voyage on the St Johns River from Jacksonville toward the interior. The river narrowed to a small stream with dense jungle banks, palm and palmetto trees, and alligators sunning along the shore. The writer notes desolate scenery, glimpses of Marble Residence of Marriete Heeler Stowe, and comments on climate, local fruit meals, and hotels. Further entries describe Sanford and Lake Monroe, winter homes of Northern visitors, lagoons and fishing scenes, and remarks on Florida's growth and tourism. The piece includes travel observations by T. L. G. and notes on local personalities and events such as Wanamaker discussions and a Masonic hall project in Jefferson, Georgia.
