British Colonial Florida
In this letter, the British Governor of West Florida, George Johnstone, rhapsodizes about the natural wonders of the Florida coast. As he noted on July 19, 1766, “The quantity of Fish with which our whole Coast and every Creek and River abound, is like other Blessings of Providence very little regarded because given with so very bountiful a hand.”
