pdf The Rockledge Florida Steamship Line

This book by Fred A. Hopwood chronicles the era of steamboats in the upper St. Johns River, prior to 1880. But their presence in this region is lost to history. Many names and events have been overlooked, but it is my hope that this book may be useful to history buffs in the future understanding of how and why this Country of Brevard has grown to be the nice county it is today.
