That's really cool. I need to go to that game before I get too old.

Not even counting the game... A long weekend on the S. Ga./ N. fla. coast the last weekend of Oct./1st w/e of Nov. is a great time to visit. It could be 45 in the a.m. & 85 in the p.m. The weather is usually great. Good(not great) beaches, awesome food, wildlife, history & golf abound. The Ga. barrier islands are beautiful. Throw in a (usually) game between 2 top 20 opponents at 3:30 on CBS on the river in Jax & all the festivities leading up to the game & afterwards & it becomes a weekend to remember. Jax does a great job but the area sells itself...

Jacksonville- Complete and total fraud

quote:

---

Without a shred of historical or archaeological evidence, Jacksonville’s economic leaders and Florida’s politicians came together to announce that Fort Caroline was located near Jacksonville. No French, Spanish or English document had ever placed Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River.

All European maps produced in the late 1500s and throughout the 1600s showed Fort Caroline to be a few miles inland on the west side of Georgia’s Altamaha River. All French Colonial Era maps labeled the Altamaha River as the May River. This is the name that French Captain René de Laundonnière had given it.

The St. Johns River was not even accessible by ocean-going ships until the 1850s, when the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged a channel through the shallow seven mile outlet of the St. Johns River. Jacksonville’s original name was Waterford because humans and livestock were able to walk across the St. Johns River in the vicinity of where Fort Caroline National Monument is now located.

National politics came to bear on the fabrication of history. President Roosevelt needed the support of Florida’s powerful senators and representatives to push through the New Deal. Word got out that powerful economic interests were behind this project. Not a single historian or archaeologist raised a public protest against this fabrication of history.

The City of Jacksonville purchased a tract of land that was admirably suited for tourism and called it Fort Caroline’s site. There is absolutely nothing about this location that matches De Laundonnière’s description, except that it is on the South Atlantic Coast. Jacksonville then purchased a massive tract land at the mouth of the St. Johns and gave it to the United States government for a U. S. Navy base. The base was named Mayport in order to provide “proof” that the St. Johns River was the real May River.

An economic development scheme changes the history books

In the seventy five years since the Fort Caroline deception began, taxpayers money has been repeatedly spent in fruitless archaeological efforts to find some evidence of a 16th century presence of French colonists along the St. Johns River. The National Park Service has expanded the theme of a failed French colony into a regional recreation and cultural attraction. Although the National Park Service makes it clear that the actual location of Fort Caroline is unknown, virtually all books, tourist brochures and web sites call the fake location of Fort Caroline, the actual location.
