The
Search for
Old Kings Road
Florida's Old Kings
Road was built by the British prior to the American Revolution. It once
ran from Georgia south to Jacksonville (then Cow Ford), to St. Augustine,
thus what is now Flagler County and finally to New Smyrna.
There were battles, refugees, a rich plantation economy, a slave
rebellion, a terrible war and history going back some 240 years. This book
pulls together the history of this little know piece of American History,
once called an "engineering treasure." 160 pages, perfect
bound, color cover, many illustrations, with index and time line.

I am Grey Eyes
a story of Old Florida
20 May 1767 Grey Eyes, a Seminole Indian and some 25 Indian boys drove a
herd of cattle from Colerain Georgia to New Smyrna Florida, a distance of
about 106 miles. Thus began Old Kings road and a series of events,
greatly affecting the history of Florida. Here is this rich history
as viewed thru the eyes of Grey Eyes, a man who had the power to see.
Historic events are intertwined into a highly readable story, partly
historic fiction, but mostly fact.
Grey Eyes will take you thru the early days of Florida's often violent
history. See it with Indian eyes.
274 pages perfect bound, color cover.

Osceola
His Capture and Seminole Legends
In 1837 the great Seminole leader Osceola was
captured under a white flag of truce near Old Kings Road, south of St.
Augustine. His capture was debated in European capitols throughout
the world, and in hearings in the U.S. Congress, and called a disgrace to
the army. Here is an unknown story, as told by Osceola himself in
this fictional account based accurately on the real facts, some of which
have never before been disclosed. The many books written about
Osceola did not reflect the Indian point of view. Here is the new
story as told by Osceola, and the account of the newly discovered capture
site on Old Kings Road.
This is a new and important book by author William Ryan
