Abstract A summary of the resource. This historical novel is a fictionalized biography of one of the lesser-remembered characters in St. Augustine history, Daniel "Dirt" McGirtt. Several other St. Augustine personalities make an appearance as well, <a href="https://staugustinefiction.omeka.net/items/show/146" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mary Evans Fenwick Peavett Hudson</a> (link to the historical novel about her), Governor Patrick Tonyn, Governor Vincente Zespedes, Francisco Xavier Sanchez, Chief Wakapuchasce, and more. Son of a British Colonel, James McGirtt from Scotland, his sons Daniel and James give their allegiance to their new country and fight for independence from England. But all this changed when charged with horse-thieving in 1775, and McGirtt is christened "Dirt," beginning a life that may or may not be lawless. He and his brother settle in St. Augustine and switch sides in the war. He remains in Florida when it is returned to the Spanish. After the transfer, McGirtt uses his home on Maxton Island (now called Ortega southwest of downtown Jacksonville) as a base to raid Spanish settlers in St. Johns County.
