St. Johns River Guidebook

From any point of view -- historical, commercial, or recreational -- the St. Johns River is the most important river in Florida. This guide describes the history, major towns/cities along the way, wildlife, personages associated with the river. You'll go by Sanford and Georgetown, Palatka and Orange Park. And at the mouth of the river, you'll encounter the metropolis of Jacksonville and the Naval Station in Mayport. Because not everyone interested in the river has the time or facilities to boat it, the last part of each chapter describes the land journey on each side of the St. Johns, from south to north. The last chapter describes some of the many places for lodging and eating along the way.
