First European settlement in Florida and St Augustine history
The article traces early North American discovery from Columbus to Ponce de Leon and Florida. It covers Ponce de Leon’s April 1812 landing near St Augustine, his failed searches for youth and gold, and his death in 1521. It then details French Huguenot attempts at colonization and the brutal Spanish consolidation led by Menendez, founding St. Augustine and ending French influence.
