Biographical/Historical:     Baynard Hardwick Kendrick was a Florida detective storywriter and historian. Many of his writings were turned into Hollywood screenplays during the 1940s and 1950s. He was also a founding member of the Mystery Writers Association. In 1963, he donated these postcards to Allen Morris, the original creator and curator of the Florida Photographic Collection before it transferred to the Florida State Archives.

    Florida's territorial legislature established the Bellamy Road in the 1820s to link East and West Florida. The legislature allocated $20,000 for this purpose, and Governor William DuVal commissioned John Bellamy, a Monticello enslaver and labor farmer, to complete the project. Built by the forced labor of Black men enslaved by Bellamy between 1824 and 1826, the road ran from the Ochlocknee River across the peninsula to the St. Johns River near St. Augustine. A major portion of this route later became State Road 26. Bellamy Road was the first federal road in Florida.
Summary:     This collection contains two unused photographic postcards: one of the Bellamy Road and the other of a logging railroad along the Suwannee River. On the reverse they are labelled and signed by Baynard Kendrick in 1963.
