Down With The Ship In St. Augustine
Donnerstag, September 30th, 2010It is incorrect to call St. Augustine, Florida as America’s most ancient city. Native American mound cities in the Upper Midwest and the Anasazi Pueblo cities of southwestern Colorado predate St. Augustine by several hundred years, as do Mexico City and the ancient Mayan city of Tikal further south. However, St. Augustine was the initial permanent, declared European community in what is now the United States, founded only a little over seventy years after Columbus’ historic voyage.
