Society marker you use in your booklet I nave never noticed nor have I any information in regard to it. Tne city of St.Augustine was in 1586 on and south of St.Francis St. where the Oldest House is and a road or trail crossed the Maria Sanchez creek at St.Francis St. ls.ter moved south to Bridge St. the next block south.There was also a trail crossing the Maria Sanchez south of this city to Point Buena Esperanza where there was an Indian village . This trail would nave crossed tne San Sebastian to what is now Wildwood park and I remember years ago walking through a narrow path there called the Indian trail. This would lead out to the road where the marker is and from there north west to Picolata or south to Palatke and Tampa and south to the East Coast. King street the present Dixie road west was built later by the English. The earliest account of these trails we have is in the inspection of tne fort by Alvaro Flores visitor for nis Majesty in 1578 .Professor Bolton sent us a translation of part of this made by Miss Ross. With tne map of Drake of 1586 one can follow it anu find it correct. Mrs.Connor thinks tne fort of 1578 was on Anastasia Island or North Beach but I think she is mistaken. Dr.Caceres in his account of St.Augustine of 1574 writes " Sancto Agustin .where the fort and people first were, is a small isl3.nd ,and Santo Agustin where the fort and people now are is another.which is close to the first where the fort was at first. This place where it is now is is almost an island , because it is almost entirely surrounded by water .although it is open on side where one can pass to terra firma. It is in twenty-nine degrees and a half; it is three or four leagues long,and has little width .for it is as narrow as half a league ,in some parts less.Every year the sea covers a good part of these lands; it is all wooded with liveoaks,pines,and oaks, and groves of low palms full of rootsetc." translated by Miss Ross from the original letter in hand-writing of Dr.Caceres.
