Publisher's Synopsis
"Old St. Augustine; a Story of Three Centuries" explores the rich and complex history of St. Augustine, Florida, one of the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlements in the United States. This meticulously researched account, originally published in 1886, delves into the city's colonial past, tracing its evolution through Spanish, British, and American rule. Reynolds vividly portrays the lives of the diverse populations that shaped St. Augustine, from the early Spanish explorers and settlers to the Native American tribes and African inhabitants.
Through detailed descriptions and historical anecdotes, the book brings to life the key events, figures, and cultural influences that have defined St. Augustine's unique identity. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the city's architectural heritage, religious traditions, and the social dynamics that have shaped its character over three centuries. This book offers valuable insights into the historical tapestry of Florida and the broader narrative of American colonial history.
