Cumberland reminiscences
We thoroughly enjoyed “Cumberland Island: Go Wild” [April 17].
The day before the article appeared, we had just returned from an intracoastal cruise that began in Florida and went to Cumberland and Jekyll islands in Georgia and many other interesting places, ending in Charleston, S.C.
Your description of the island was perfect -- complete with wild horses, Spanish moss dripping from very old oak trees and the ruins of the Carnegie’s Dungeness mansion.
We got to the island by a launch docked near our ship, the Nantucket Clipper, and spent many wonderful hours on Cumberland.
We ate a sack lunch at picnic tables under huge trees. We saw a foal nursing, several wild horses, magnificent ruins and beautiful foliage.
We heartily recommend a visit to this enchanting spot.
