thorpe's troops from strict Fort
Frederica, sailed to Jekyll for revels

ilies created the Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island's fascinating history has been skillfully portrayed
by the distinguished American artist, Esther Lippincott Stewart.
Each of her colorful paintings — in addition to capturing the
past and present in a distinct and lively style accurately
records the major fauna
and flora of the region.
Commissioned by
by the
Jekyll Island Authority in
1974, Mrs. Stewart's eight
murals (seven are 10' x
13'; one is 10' X 43')
decorate the Mall of the
JEKAL ISLAND
Convention Center.
Once America's most ex-
clusive resort, Jekyll
Island today, with its
beaches, year 'round golf
and tennis, is for the
enjoyment of all.
