Come All Ye Bold Heroes
Florida Living History in partnership with the National Park Service’s Castillo
de San Marcos National Monument will recreate a 1779 recruitment drive
at Fort St. Mark in St. Augustine, the capital of British East Florida, enlisting
soldiers to “take the King’s Shilling” and march against the American rebels.
Those who sign on will tour their new barracks, learn about the equipment
and food with which King George will supply them, and practice 18 th century
close-order drill under with their sergeant. They will also visit a local sutler,
who will display the merchandise they can purchase with a soldier’s pay.
In addition, regular soldiers of Florida’s British Army will be on hand to
demonstrate the daily life of a soldier on this frontier of the Empire, while the
ladies of the garrison will discuss what it means for wives and children to
“follow the drum.” The event takes place at the Castillo de San Marcos from
10 a.m.-4 p.m. General admission into the park is $10, and admission for
youth ages 15 and under is free. 1 S. Castillo Dr., St. Augustine
