Excerpt from Whitney's Florida Pathfinder: For the Tourist and Invalid

Comparatively but few years ago, the number of Florida visitors did not exceed three or four hundred, principally composed of invalids, whilst at the pres ent day east Florida is visited by the elite and fash ion of every section, and the visitation estimated by the thousands.

The State is especially favored by the appearance of American tourists, who, heretofore, have indulged their winters in health-restoring climates abroad, and from whom Florida has received its highest praises.

From the metropolis of Jacksonville, up the grand old St. John's River, to the cozy retreats of Magnolia, Green Cove Spring, Palatka and points beyond, and especially the ancient city of St. Augustine, one may observe elegant winter mansions and cottages, which during the winter season (december 1st to June lst) are occupied by their wealthy owners.
