The largest island in Florida's St. Johns River is Drayton Island. Located at the northern edge of Lake George about twenty miles south of Palatka, the island is about 1700 acres in size and is surrounded by the St. Johns River. With a history dating back to the Native Americans of central Florida, Drayton has seen its share of explorers, slaves, plantation owners, and ordinary residents who have moved there to grow crops, fish, and enjoy a truly idyllic life. This is an illustrated history of that island, written by a long-time resident of the island and by an author who has spent his career writing about Florida. The illustrations come from the authors' own collections, the state archives, private collections, and very old postcards.
