Wilson, Joseph M. (Joseph Miller), 1838-1902. To Florida and back, 1877 Mar. 1-31.

Title: To Florida and back, 1877 Mar. 1-31.

Illustrated travel memoir, 1-31 Mar. 1877, written for Wilson's daughters who remained at home in Philadelphia, describing a trip by family and friends from Pennsylvania to St. Augustine, Fla., by boat and rail with stops at coastal cities of: Baltimore, Maryland; Portsmouth, Virginia; Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; and Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida. Daily entries written to educate and entertain describe sights and scenes, such as alligators among lush tropical vegetation, as well as other flora and fauna encountered; includes fifty-seven pen and ink drawings and charcoal and/or chalk and pencil works with wash, including Charleston, S.C., images with illustrations of St. Philip's and St. Michael's churches, Fort Sumter, Castle Pinckney, and several street scenes. Wilson's parents were natives of Charleston, S.C., but this trip marked the first visit for this Philadelphia native; on seeing Charleston, Wilson wrote, "the city was new to me, yet it seemed as if I had met an old friend....The town did not seem like an American City, but more like some place in the old world, an Italian town." Also includes view of the interior of an African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Fla., with a description of services at the church, and illustrations and writings of Wilson's impressons of Fort Marion [now Castillo San Marcos] in St. Augustine, Fla. which impressed the party both for its architecture and for its use as a prison for Native Americans captured during the Western Indian Wars [in 1877, ca. 70 men from the Cheyenne, Kiowa, Comanche and Caddo Nations had been imprisoned at the fort since 1875].
