Slow travels exploring America's history along U.S. highways: Florida and Georgia Edition by Lyn Wilkerson.
"The ford had been named Wacca Pilatka (cows crossing over) by the Indians. It became known as the Ferry of St. Nicholas by the Spanish, who built Fort St. Nicholas about 1740 on the south shore to guard the crossing. Later the English would name the settlement here Cowford, a name which persisted until 1822."
This edition in the Slow Travels series is an update of the original Florida and Georgia guides, now combined into one guide. In Florida, explore the east coast of the state along U.S. 1, the west coast on U.S. 41 and U.S. 301, the center of the state on U.S. 27, and the panhandle along U.S. 90. In Georgia, U.S. Highways 17, 23, 41, and 27 travel the state from north to south, and U.S. 80 and 84 explore from the Atlantic to the Alabama State Line. Along these highways, historic sites and landmarks are laid out for the leisure driver to enjoy. Entertaining and educational, these guides are for both the individual traveler and the entire family. Reference maps are provided, and GPS Coordinates are listed at the end of each route
"..based on the American Guide Series... Using the original text, we have updated time-sensitive directions and information, updated highway changes and alignments, and added additional research to add to what was already a wealth of documented history."
