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.
September 23, 1861. Winston went to town in the morning. I received a letter from Mother Winston rec one from Jessup telling of the birth of a daughter (Bertie).
