The Castillo de San Marcos at Saint Augustine, Florida. Originally, wooden forts were built, but in October 1672, this fort, built of native coquina rock was begun. It took 23 years to build.
The Castillo at night... This was also known as Fort Marion, and, as it has never fallen in battle, it was chosen as the best place to keep "troublesome redskins."
Kiowa chiefs at Fort Marion - from left: Lone Wolf, Sky Walker (who died three days after this photo), White Horse - other two Kiowa are unidentified
Kiowa and Comanche warriors at Fort Marion...
