This is the 150 year old love story between my great-great-grandparents, Winston and Octavia (Bryant) Stephens, set against the backdrop of the St. Johns River in Florida and the Civil War. A love story told purely in their own words through their letters and diaries and the letters and diaries of eight other family members.
June 12, 1861. In the afternoon Winston Rosa & I went to town. I went to Mrs. Hopkins, Winston carried 24 melons to the boat, & sent a melon & some honey to Mother, had a nice rain, met Willie S. and Lewis coming over here. Rain.
