Table of contents

People tend to visit Orlando, then come to St. Augustine with visions of the 'magical' world and unfortunately think Castillo de San Marcos was a replica of 'a castle' built only for their enjoyment. It was built Augustine is a living, thriving city with all kinds of vehicles, tour busses, cars, trucks, RV's, everything imaginable, so obey the laws just like you would in your own hometown, such as crossing at crosswalks, looking both ways before crossing. Park at the VIC with convenient and reasonable price and walk, not driving by and just looking.

In the most congested area of the city, the downtown area where many sites are located, there are homes where real people live, and businesses, all real, not posing for 'color. The sketches in the book add to the word whimsy in the title, but come see for yourself and get the timelines, 'up close and personal. One person found this helpful.

When I was younger my family would head to St. Augustine for our summer vacation. During those trips I was often reminded that St. Augustine is America's oldest city. I never knew the whole history of the city but thanks I've learned all the facts I didn't know. It's a really fascinating book that is a lot of fun too.. I had purchased this for my granddaughter I had not read it I had visited St Augustine and found it so interesting so knew she would love reading about it too She said she could hardly put it down!

I give this work 4 stars because of its light hearted humor and illustrations. This is far from a serious or in depth work but gives some of the essentials of the oldest town in the US in an easy to read and easy to remember format that will have all chuckling along the way. I bought this book on my tablet and read it twice before traveling to St. I cannot tell you how much more I appreciated the history. This is not a dry history book but a very short read that captures the excitement and essence of the times. I liked it so much, I bought the physical book to give to a friend who is planning a trip in April.

It is a Very interesting and not boring read. I liked the illustrations, some typos but overall easy read and factual. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. A really neat book. See all 20 reviews. Most recent customer reviews. Published on August 11, This twenty word BS.

The history of that area was fascinating and I thought the book would reinforce the little bit that I learned on the tours while I was there. This is a very short book 45 or so pages. As you can imagine, it was a very brief rendition of the history of that area. Still, it was interesting and worth a three star rating.

May 22, Mike M rated it really liked it. Good for a history book. This twenty word BS. Dome book just don't require twenty words to describe them. Until thus stupid restriction is lifted thus will be the last book I comment on. Now I've even run out of words for that complaint.
