Two things...

[ou8acracker2]

First off - is there any archives or libraries in Jacksonville or St. Augustine that would have old articles, letters, books, etc...the internet is fun and all but you cannot find everything on it, and I cannot afford to fly to Spain to sit in their archives, but perhaps there is something similar around these parts.

Second off - I just bought that book by Robert Kurson - Pirate Hunters
Excellent read. In case anyone is trying to find another book to read before bed :-)

A lot of the Spanish archives are on line - and searchable...

St. Augustine Historical Society has a research library. You also can go straight to the source or as close to it as possible. Eugene Lyons lives here along with Kathleen Deagan. Volunteer to work her dig sites at the Fountain of Youth archaeological park and take the opportunity to pick her brain.
