householders, and containing a flourishing monastery of the Order of
St. Francis, with fifty brothers in residence, all zealous for the
conversion of the Indians. The parish Church was built of wood.
But the poor little city was destined not to rest in peace. In 1665,
one hundred years from its foundation, it was visited by Captain Davis,
an English buccaneer and free-booter, of a class then numerous in those
seas. He landed his forces near the city, marched directly upon the
town, looted and plundered it without meeting, it is said, with any
resistance from the Spanish garrison in the fort, which numbered some
two hundred men-at-arms. The easy capture of the town by this casual
free-booter indicated the necessity for stronger fortifications and
better means of resistance.
The Castle of San Marco had been commenced and partly constructed
by the labor of the Appalachian Indians, no doubt very slowly and
unwillingly rendered. Don Juan Marquez de Cabrera, having been
appointed Governor in 1681, at once applied himself to the completion
of the castle and other fortifications.
The English settlements in Carolina continued to create much
dissatisfaction. The Spanish Crown claimed the whole Atlantic coast as
their province of Florida, and it is so designated on ancient maps,
even including Delaware and Pennsylvania, then being settled by Penn
and his colonists. An attack was made in 1681 on a Scotch and English
settlement at Port Royal by three armed galleys sent out from St.
Augustine. Many of the English colonists lost their lives, and much
property was destroyed, which later led to bitter retaliation.
Menendez, by his contract with the Spanish Crown, had been authorized
to take to Florida five hundred negro slaves, but did not avail
himself of the privilege, and it was not until 1687 that one Captain
de Aila brought the first Spanish negro slave into Florida. Later
the inhabitants of Carolina complained that the authorities at St.
Augustine seduced and harbored their runaway slaves, which was not
denied, but justified by the claim that they did it for the good of the
souls of the negroes.
[Illustration: RUINS OF THE OLD SPANISH FORT AT MATANZAS INLET.]
Hostilities having broken out between England and Spain, and a
bitter feeling already existing between the English in Carolina and
the Spaniards in Florida, Governor Moore, of South Carolina, led an
expedition into Florida in 1702, and with a considerable force made an
attack upon St. Augustine by sea and by land. He easily captured the
town, and the inhabitants retired to the fort, where they were besieged
for over a month. For want of heavier guns, Moore was unable to capture
the fort, and had to retire; not, however, till he had committed the
useless barbarity of burning the town. Upon the departure of the
English forces, the inhabitants gladly set to work to repair or rebuild
their ruined homes.
About this period the building of a sea wall was begun, to protect the
town from the encroachment of the sea, and leisurely proceeded for many
years. Portions of this ancient wall may yet be seen within the present
wall, which was built by the United States after the change of flags.
In 1704, Governor Moore again appeared before the old city, and
partially destroyed its habitations, but was unable to make any
impression on the stalwart castle. Bad feelings were reciprocally held
for many years by the English in Carolina and the Spaniards in Florida.
In the meantime, another English settlement having been made in Georgia
by General Oglethorpe, the English drew nearer to Florida and occupied
a country still claimed by the Spanish Crown. The Spanish Governor
notified Oglethorpe to depart, and gave indications of a forcible
attempt to dispossess the new colony. Oglethorpe determined to be
beforehand with the Spaniards, and organized an expedition made up from
his own colony and Carolina, and proceeded to invest St. Augustine
by sea and by land. The town was now, however, better fortified, and
the Castle had been greatly strengthened. Oglethorpe’s batteries on
Anastasia Island were too light to make an impression upon the walls
of San Marco, the soft rock imbedding his balls without injury. The
siege lasted thirty-eight days, but, being unable to reduce the Castle,
Oglethorpe at last gave up the attempt, and withdrew his forces. The
marks of his cannonade may still be seen on the eastern walls of the
fort.
The repeated outbreaks of the Indians and the inroads of the English
had discouraged all attempts at cultivation in the vicinity, and the
city remained little more than a garrison town, until, by the Treaty of
1762, Florida was ceded to the English Crown. The Spanish inhabitants
nearly all left with the garrison for Cuba. The English flag was raised
upon the Castle of San Marco, and an English Governor, an English
garrison and English colonists came in to occupy the city and the
province. Judicious measures were at once taken to advance the interest
and growth of the city and the two Floridas. Bounties were offered
for the production of indigo and naval stores, and a considerable
commerce at once grew up. Roads were opened, and settlements made in
the interior and on the coast. During the twenty years of English
occupation extensive barracks were erected in the city, which was much
built up and improved; and, could it have remained under the English
flag, Florida would have been as well populated and as prosperous as
the other colonies of England in America. The acknowledgment of the
independence of her other colonies, which had organized a confederacy
against her rule, rendered Florida of little consequence as a small
and isolated colony, and, in 1783, England ceded Florida back to Spain.
As a consequence of this recession and change of government, the
English inhabitants nearly all left for Carolina and Georgia or the
British West India Islands. St. Augustine fell back into its old
condition of a garrison town; the works of improvement begun by the
English were abandoned, and the old city renewed its sleepy existence.
There was indeed some attempt by land grants to induce immigration, but
with no great result.
So things went until 1812, when, fearing that England intended to
acquire Florida, which would be a menace to the interests of the United
States, President Monroe, under a resolution of Congress, ordered
troops into Florida. St. Augustine was threatened, but not conquered or
reduced. The country was raided, plantations were devastated, and much
injury done before the United States troops were recalled. Finally,
Spain was worried into an agreement to sell Florida to the United
States for a pecuniary compensation.
In the year 1821, the Spanish flag, planted at St. Augustine in 1565,
was hauled down finally, and the Stars and Stripes waved over the
Castle of San Marco, which by a senseless order was renamed Fort
Marion, which name it now bears. The Spanish inhabitants generally
remained, and their descendants still constitute the larger portion of
the resident population of the ancient city. Under American rule people
from the adjoining States came in and began to establish settlements,
but the Indian tribes still held possession of the largest portion of
the territory.
In 1835, the Seminole Indian War broke out; for seven years hostilities
were maintained, and it was not until 1842 that peace was restored. St.
Augustine suffered with the rest of the territory, and little progress
was made in population or prosperity. It still remained the leading
town, though that did not mean much, and when the war was over other
towns, notably Jacksonville, grew into importance. Some invalids, not
many, came for a winter’s sojourn, but there was little change until
the Civil War. At an early day Commodore Dupont came into the harbor
with his armed vessels, and the town was quietly surrendered, supplied
with a garrison, and went into an enforced apathy from which it never
emerged until the war was over.
[Illustration: HOTEL PONCE DE LEON.]
After 1865, a new era sprang up for St. Augustine; railroad
communication was opened to Tocoi, on the St. John’s, and, later on,
to Jacksonville. Winter visitors began to come in large numbers, and
hotels on a large scale were built. Finally, Mr. H. M. Flagler became
interested in the old city, and built the famous and most beautiful
Ponce de Leon, the Alcazar, and the Cordova, with many other handsome
buildings. He purchased and improved the railroad, filled in the
marshes of the St. Sebastian, and erected a new city alongside of the
old. The population has been doubled, and its attractions have greatly
increased. A railway system has been established, taking in the whole
east coast of Florida as far down as Miami, with connecting lines of
steamers to Key West, Havana and Nassau. Few towns can now boast of
more attractive residences, and none of such magnificent hotels for
the solace of the traveler. After a varied existence of over three
centuries, the ancient city has put on a new life of elegance and
prosperity.
Dear old city! how many sweet associations it has for the many
thousands who have visited it in these past years! How many walks on
the sea wall; how many boat rides on its placid waters; how many
excursions into its meandering creeks, and strolls along the beach of
Anastasia Island; how many cozy corners in the loggia of the Ponce de
Leon, and the corridors of the Alcazar, come at the call of memory!
The gray and time-worn old Castle of San Marco, with its gloomy portals
and dark chambers, seems in a moment to carry the visitor back three
centuries to another people and another age. People may come, and
people may go, but the old Castle will remain for centuries, a memorial
to the long-past age of the Spanish monarchy in America.
