Fort Caroline National Monument
— Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve —
500 Spanish soldiers from St. Augustine marched four days through marsh, forest tangle, fierce wind, and heavy rainfall to an encampment near here. Exhausted and hungry they rested in a downpour; at dawn they attacked and captured France's Fort de la Caroline.HM Number | HMVCW |
