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 15, 1861. Rain. Winston & Ben cut a bee tree in the morning & the bees ran them off then they went again in the afternoon & got the bees & more than two buckets of honey.
