Excerpt from A Handbook of Florida The first section of the Handbook proper is devoted to sketches of the several counties, with maps compiled from the best attainable authorities. In the context the different railroad lines crossing the counties are given, with tables of stations and distances, so that, if desired, the different routes can be followed from county to county. Take, for instance, Eoute 40, p.183, Jacksonville to Palatka. The railway passes through Duval, Clay, and Putnam Counties. Descriptions of the counties with their respective maps are alphabetically aiTanged, beginning at page 1. On page 25 are stations and distances in Duval County, on page 16 those in Clay County, and on page 82 those in Putnam County, so that the movement of the train can be followed from one map to another throughout the journey. Distances are given in both directions as indicated by arrows at the sides of the tables. The frequent establishment of new stations and the discontinuance of old ones may account for discrepancies between the maps and current time-tables. In future editions these will be corrected as rapidly as jDossible. In the other sections travelling routes are described in general and in detail, with as much accuracy as possible iinder the changing conditions of a country where, a few years ago, railroads were unknown.

Excerpt from Camp Life in Florida: A Handbook for Sportsmen and Settlers This volume is a compilation from the columns of the sportsmen's journal known as the "Forest and Stream." It is, in great part, the outcome of two special commissions sent by the publishers of that paper to explore southern and south-western Florida - one of them to Lake Okeechobee, in the winter of 1873-'74, and the other, in the winter and spring of 1874-'75, to the section laved by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. To some of its readers it will therefore appear at secondhand; but republication is justified and extenuated by the fact that it has been pressed by repeated solicitations of gentlemen who appreciate the value of the information its chapters contain. So little is known of the Florida Peninsula, and so very meagre are the written accounts of its geography and resources, that the citizens of Florida have, privately and through the press and public meetings, acknowledged to the editor his substantial service rendered to the State. Now, more than ever, is attention being directed to the Land of Flowers. Winter visitors in vast numbers migrate thither as regularly as the birds of passage.

Excerpt from The Seminoles of Florida Not much apparently can be done for this home keeping remnant of the Florida aborigines, but it is help and a protection to them that their continuing presence in Florida and the conditions of their life there should be known to the rest of the Americans and especially to those who go to Florida or are concerned with the development of that State.

Excerpt from Guide to Florida It was whilst discussing the subject with his followers, and arguing as to the course to be pursued, that an Indian Cacique narrated to them a wonderful story; that, not many leagues away, towards the setting sun, there existed a land of great riches, and exceeding all others in beauty of scenery. But, what was most extraordinary, it possessed a mar vellons fountain, whose waters had the power to renew youth and give vigor to those who bathed in or drank them.
