Book Synopsis Walking St. Augustine by : Elsbeth "Buff" Gordon
Download or read book Walking St. Augustine written by Elsbeth "Buff" Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic St. Augustine Research Institute William L. Proctor Award "Gaze at the buildings and read the accounts of the people who walked the same streets more than 450 years ago; you will be transformed into a time traveler."--Thomas Graham, author of Mr. Flagler's St. Augustine "Grab this book--you will never find this information on a travel website."--Kathleen Deagan, coauthor of Fort Mose: Colonial America's Black Fortress of Freedom In 2013, National Geographic Traveler chose St. Augustine as one of "20 must-see places and best trips in the world." But while tourists take in the fort and stroll the cobblestone streets, few visitors are aware of the remarkable history of this oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States. Walking St. Augustine fuses illustrated history and intimate handbook. The author, Elsbeth "Buff" Gordon, one of the city's most highly regarded historians, is also a resident and offers insider tips for exciting adventures. Gordon divides the colonial village into sections, all easily walked in a single day. She guides visitors through Plaza de la Constitucion, the oldest public park in America, and down the same avenues walked by the first Spanish settlers. She vividly retells landmark events, highlights areas of architectural or historic interest, delves into the genealogy of the multicultural families that have made St. Augustine home, and offers human stories and heritage recipes passed down through the centuries. With this vibrantly rendered, easy-to-use, and color-coded guide, visitors can walk the seldom-visited south end of the city, which includes the earliest residential area with streets dating back to 1572, and stop in at the Flagler College complex, its more recent history illuminated by its architectural perfection. Gordon suggests visiting the Colonial Quarter Living History Museum, and for those looking to venture beyond walking distance, the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, Anastasia Island, and Fort Mose, the nation's first legally free black settlement. Walking St. Augustine opens the doors to a spellbinding city, allowing visitors to discover five centuries of gripping history.

Book Synopsis Waldo, Florida by : Linda Hall Vlacos
Download or read book Waldo, Florida written by Linda Hall Vlacos and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waldo in north-central Florida dates back to the 1850s, but was probably settled by Native Americans long before then because of its location near beautiful Lake Alto. The history of Waldo includes the coming of the Cross-Florida Railroad in the 1850s, involvement with some Civil War battles, the digging of the Santa Fe Canal to connect Waldo with Melrose via several lakes, devastating freezes that wiped out the citrus crop in the 1890s, and connections to Jacksonville, Starke, and Gainesville by modern highways. The town has also in recent times seen the dissolution of its police force and the closing of its school because of a declining population. How the town has survived such natural and man-made difficulties to become a friendly, hospitable place to live makes a fascinating story.

Book excerpt: "This comprehensive book of Florida forts will shock readers with its historical insight and depth. A must-read for anyone planning a vacation to any of Florida's iconic historical landmarks."--Matthew J. Clavin, author of Toussaint Louverture and the American Civil War "Florida's military past is multi-layered and few books can match this one in demonstrating the complexity of its dimensions."--Joe Knetsch, author of Fear and Anxiety on the Florida Frontier Because of its extensive coastline--the longest of any state--Florida has always been at the forefront of military defense--whether Spanish, British, Confederate, or American. The state's unique military history is revealed in its forts and outposts and in the museums maintained at those sites today. This richlyillustrated volume provides the history of military fortifications in Florida from the earliest European settlements to the present, while focusing on those places that offer more than a simple historical marker to visitors. There are numerous sites that have been important in the state's military history; Forts of Florida highlights the twenty-four locations that still have existing features--whether ruins, reconstructions, or preserved structures. All are open to the public, and many are among the state's most popular tourist destinations, including Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, and the Air Museum at the Pensacola Air Station. Accompanied by historic and contemporary photographs, maps, and engravings, each entry discusses the architecture and context of the site in relation to Florida and U.S. history. The thorough background descriptions will benefit those planning first-time trips, as well as those who have long enjoyed visiting these sites. Rodney Carlisle, professor emeritus of history at Rutgers University, is the author and editor of more than thirty books including Sovereignty at Sea: U.S. Merchant Ships and American Entry into World War I.
