T. Van Campen, John Tyler Van Van Campen, J. T. St. Augustine, Florida's Colonial Capital Produced by Stephen Hutcheson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "St. Augustine, Florida's Colonial Capital" by J. T. Van Campen is a historical account written in the late 20th century. The work delves into the establishment and development of St. Augustine, the first permanent European settlement in the United States, exploring its origins, the challenges it faced, and its significance in the broader context of colonial America. The book likely serves as both a narrative of early colonial interactions and a detailed exploration of the significant events surrounding the settlement led by Don Pedro Menéndez, the Spanish admiral who founded St. Augustine. At the start of the narrative, readers are transported back to September 1565, when Don Pedro Menéndez's fleet anchors off the coast of Florida, aimed at establishing a Spanish settlement and expelling the French Huguenots. The scene captures the tension of the moment, highlighting the landing ceremonies that blend military pomp with religious significance. As Menéndez and his men prepare to fortify their position against the French fort of Fort Caroline, the opening portion also introduces the historical backdrop, revealing the religious conflicts of the era and the precious treasure routes Spain aimed to protect. The stakes are high, as Menéndez’s actions would set the tone for both Spanish Florida's expansion and its turbulent interactions with rival colonial powers.
