St. John’s River

St. Johns River begins in the swamps in southeast Florida, then passes 310 miles through many lakes, communities, forests, and swamps north towards the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville. As a resource, it has been enjoyed by millions, but few know its full and fascinating story. It was explored by both the Spanish and French, and hosted a thriving Steamboat trade. Today it has become a popular recreation and tourist site.Illustrated by 300 vintage postcards, this book takes a virtual tour from St. Johns River’s source to its basin, with stories of its history, tributaries, cities, and attractions along the way.[AuthorName]By Donald Spencer[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Donald D.
