Fine first edition, in very good dust jacket. Some edge wear.

From the Dust Jacket: “Mrs. Matschat begins her story at the source of the Suwannee - in the Okefenokee Swamp. Following the river southward into Florida, she describes... and tells anecdotes of Stephen Foster... The book illuminates an almost unknown part of this country, blending history, legend, nature study, and exquisite descriptive writing.”

Full-page illustrations at chapter heads, including a map, and in-text illustrations throughout by Alexander Key.
