Palatka, Fla. : F. C. Cochrane, [ca. 1905]. no. X-1387-6. -- 3. The observatory in Everglades, Miami, Florida. ca. 1910. -- 4. View of Everglades from Sallie Observatory, Miami, Florida. ca. 1910.

General Note:
These attractions introduced tourists to the Everglades. One rail car was pulled by an African American (George) and another by a mule a short distance from the Miami River to an observation tower. The tour boats Leo and Sallie brought tourists up the Miami River to the rapids. They then walked a short distance to one of two towers on the edge of the Everglades.
