Oldest St. Augustine - by Betsi Hill (Paperback)

About the Book

Oldest St. Augustine is not just a guidebook; you're holding centuries of St. Augustine's history. In its pages, you'll discover the fascinating people who helped shape the city: Pedro Menéndez, Henry Flagler, pirates, marauders, and more. When you stroll the brick streets of St. Augustine, you'll discover more than four centuries of living history, beginning with Juan Ponce de León landing on the shores near what is now Ponte Vedra. You'll tread where countless feet-the tribespeople of the Timucua, Spanish soldiers, British colonists, African freedmen, and others from across the globe-have walked before you. And now, travel journalist and storyteller Betsi Hill invites you to walk alongside her as she opens the pages of her own love letter to America's oldest continuously inhabited city. For more than a decade, she has explored St. Augustine, its rich history, heritage, hospitality, and human connection. This book is your invitation to wander, to explore, and to fall in love with St. Augustine.
