Fireplace in ruins at the New Smyrna plantation of Cruger and Depeyster. Between
60 and 80 slaves from the Cruger and Depeyster plantation joined the uprising in
1836. Though it was built as a steam sugar and saw mill and was destroyed in the
slave uprising, the plantation was later misidentified as the ruin of an old
Spanish mission, el Jororo de Atocuimi. Under this romantic appelation it became
a popular subject for postcards. Photograph taken in 1976. Florida Photographic
Collection. |
