Redfish Oak
Dublin Core
Abstract
It is 1875, and the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Arapaho prisoners are on-route to Fort Marion, in St. Augustine, FL. Fear and unease fill St. Augustine as people adapt to the changes brought by the Emancipation Proclamation and now the arrival of prisoners from the west. While the story revolves around Nan, who teaches school to underpriviledged children, the townsfolk range from progressive-minded to members of the Klan. Along with her, two other unlikely heroes rise up and work to bring an end to the violence.
Other notable local locations visited include "The Senator" which was already 100+ years old when Pedro Menendez arrived, the Plaza de la Constitucion, St. Francis Street, Hospital Street, St. George Street, the Old King's Highway, Tolomato Street, the St. Augustine Hotel (on Cathedral Place), the old jailhouse, Anastasia Island, and Hospital Creek.
List of references for writing this book located on pages 338-339.
