Those Fires Were Located Here Those Fires Were Located Here
Leigh Culley recalls Capt. H. D. DeGrove’s memories of the Ocklawaha River and Mrs. Edith Harrison’s Florida river art. Harrison, raised near Lake Eustis, sketches a night boat on the winding shallow waterway. DeGrove, who spent fifty years on the St. Johns, described 100 foot long steamers with stern wheels built for light draft against snag and log obstructions between 1870 and 1920. The spark behind Harrison’s art is noted as this memory.
