David Levy Yulee arrived in the territory of Florida from from his homeland of St. Thomas in 1817 at the age of 7-years-old with his "prosperous" business-man father,
Yulee, at age 9, attended a private school in Virginia and later "read law" in St. Augustine. He became a member of Florida's first constitution convention in 1838-39 and was elected a a territorial delegate to the Congress in 1841.
Yulee moved to his 5,100-acre plantation near the Homosassa River called Margarita; built Florida's first railroad that ran from Fernandina Beach to Cedar Key.
Yulee's mill served as a supplier of sugar products for Southern troops during the Civil War.
A Union naval force burned Yulee's home to the ground in May 1864. Yulee was accused of treason and was imprisoned briefly. Ulysses Grant ordered he be freed; at which time he resumed his railroad interests. Yulee died in New York in 1886.

FL Birds at Bayport, Feb 2012


For a really good feeling; go out to Bay Port on Florida's Gulf Of Mexico with bread in hand for the birds. It brings smiles to your faces.

It's funny how these birds catch the bread in their beaks... Must love birds.
