A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young 2020 University of Central Florida

A Topographical Memoir On East And West Florida With Itineraries (Concluded), Hugh Young

It was thought best to give the Itineraries the last. place in the report, as the particular description of the routes is made more intelligible and satisfactory by the general account of the country (p. 323) which preceded it.
