Recollections Of An Early Pioneer Resident
A diary recounts 1878 to 1878 life near Mount Dora and Eustis Florida. Louis Tremain describes landing and homesteading work, early community setup, post office, school, and first store. He chronicles travels from Erie to Jacksonville and Palatka aboard the Ocklawaha steamer, with notes on neighbors, farming tasks, wildlife, and family letters.
