Fort Caroline National Memorial - the Timucuan Preserve; Jacksonville, FL
|
| |
At the settlement of la Caroline,
French settlers struggled for survival in a new world. Many sought
religious freedom in a new land, while others were soldiers
or tradesmen starting a new life. The climactic battles fought here
between the French and Spanish marked the first time that European
nations fought for control of lands in what is now the United States.
It would not be the last time.

historic fort, but also the wild barrier island and the plants and
animals who survive there amidst a sea of modern development.
