In 1912, St. Augustine, Florida, was a small town whose waterfront was still dominated by the old Castillo de San Marcos, which Spain began building in 1672. The fort passed through several flags: Britain held it from 1763 to 1783, and the United States took control after Florida was transferred in 1821. The American garrison renamed it Fort Marion in 1825, honoring Francis Marion, the South Carolina partisan leader of the Revolution. Residents in 1912 knew the fortress as a symbol of the town's layered past, and it remained under army care on its federal grounds.
