With this belief, the management of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad Company present the following little sketch of the various pleasure resorts along the main line and branches of their road, which resorts have been pronounced by strangers who have visited them, as possessing natural beauty that can scarcely be equalled in grandeur and magnificence. An additional attraction is given these points by their historical interest. That this sketch may be complete, it is necessary to commence with a brief notice of
Savannah,
the commercial emporium of the Empire State of the South, beautifully situated on the Savannah River, about eighteen miles from its mouth. The picturesque appearance of the city impresses every visitor. It is hansomely laid out, with broad streets, closely shaded by water oaks, live oaks, magnolia, sycamore and pride of India trees. South Broad and Liberty streets have grassy promenades in the middle, with carriage ways on either side. The city has many fine buildings, several possessing considerable architectural merits, and a park which is the pride of the citizens and the admiration of strangers. The hotel accommodations are ample, and the General Ticket Agent of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad Company, Mr. R. R. Bren, 21 Bull Street, will furnish all who desire it, information as to where good board can be obtained at private residences, a register of such places being kept on file at his office.
As regards health and climate, no city in the south offers superior advantages to Savannah.
Isle of Hope,
the terminus of the main line of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad, is six and a half miles from Savannah, on the Skidaway River, and is famous for the magnificence of its natural scenery, and delightful situations. It was settled in 1732 (four years after the town of Savannah was founded), by three persons, Henry Parker, who took the northern third, John Fallowfield, who took the middle third, and Noble Jones, the southern third, the whole containing about fifteen hundred acres, and being equally divided among them.
