TO MY MOTHER

The author wishes to express his thanks to the editors of the “BostonEvening Transcript” for permission to reprint in this volume matteroriginally contributed to the columns of that paper; to Mr. H. E. Hillof Fort Pierce, Florida, and to Mr. J. D. Rahner of St. Augustine,Florida, for permission to use certain photographs which so ablysupplement his own; and to very many Florida people, through whoseunfailing hospitality and friendly guidance he was able to see and knowmany things which otherwise he would have been unable to find orunderstand. This spirit of courtly hospitality and neighborly good willseems to be as unfailing as the Florida sunshine, and is characteristicalike of the native and the adopted citizen. It adds one more delight tothe many to be found in this beautiful region.
