Across the South by Auto From Greenville to Florida
A road trip diary chronicles a journey from Greenville through Anderson and Macon to Atlanta then down to Jacksonville and St Johns Florida. The account notes road conditions, sand clay surfaces, river ferry crossings, and observations of Florida’s scenery, towns like Mandarin and Picciuta, and early impressions of the state and its tourism boom. The piece also includes a local ad for VINOL tonic from E. H. Hennis Drug Co.
