Welcome to Florida: Jonathan Dickinson State Park

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

1. Lake Okeechobee is the most polluted lake in the United States as a result of the governor's inaction on cleaning up the state's water. 2. Jonathan Dickinson only spent about a year in Florida, stranded here after a shipwreck on his way to Philadelphia from Jamaica, but his name lives on with the Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County. Joining us to detail Dickinson's life and time in Florida is Jason Daniels, editor of "Jonathan Dickinson's Journal or God's Protecting Providence, an Early American Castaway Narrative."
