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. This is
the history of this great historic road. The main entryway into
Florida right up to the 1914 era. A story you need to know.
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 known piece of American History,
once called an "engineering treasure." 160 pages, perfect
bound, color cover, many illustrations, with index and time line.

Augustine. His capture was debated in European capitols throughout

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. Discover the relationship of "The
Black Seminoles." Here is the new
story as told by Osceola in his own word, and the account of the newly discovered capture
site on Old Kings Road. This book contains new information, maps,
and pictures never published before including an illustration of
what may be Osceola's
wife and son, the original now hanging in the Kings Lynn Museum, Norfolk
England.
