English Military Report about St. Augustine
Judging from its contents, this report was written by a member of the failed Oglethorpe expedition from Georgia that attempted to conquer Florida. The expedition was made in retaliation for the march to Georgia by Spanish troops in an effort to expand northward from St. Augustine the year before.
