Where Welcome Waits

On the afternoon of February 21, 1924 Robert Lorin Merwin led a caravan of 40 automobiles on a tour of St. Croix. Use the maps, illustrations, and narrative in this book to retrace their route from the Frederiksted waterfront along Centerline Road [now known as Queen Mary Highway] to Christiansted, then back to mid-island via the Columbus landing site at Salt River. Filled with assorted tidbits of information about the island and its history, Merwin’s narrative is surprisingly "current" even after more than 75 years!
