- The Search For Old King's Road
1
Florida's Old King's Road ran from Georgia south of Jacksonville (the called Cow Ford), to St. Augustine, thru what is now Flagler County Florida and ended in New Symrna on Florida's Atlantic Coast. It was once named one of the most important highways in America. It has vanished. This is the history of Old King's. It covers historian Bill Ryan's effort to locate events including the great slave rebellion of the Second Seminole War, the Minorcans, large Plantations, and the many events that happened from 1783 to 1914 along this roadway once called "The most important civil engineering project in America." Slave rebellion, anxious refugees, British soldiers, planters, and seekers of a new life in Florida all used Old King's Road. It even fed the Confederate Army with herds of Florida beef and salt during the Civil War. There are many stories along his historic route. Three major books resulted from this study including: "Osceola His Catpure and Seminole Legends" "I am Grey Eyes" "Bulow Gold" all cover events on this colonial era highway built prior to the American Revolution.
- I am Grey Eyes a story of old Florida
2
Grey Eyes and his companion Black Sandy were written about by then British Governor of Florida in 1767. They organized a great cattle drive from Georgia of some 500 cows intended to feed the arriving Minorcan settlers. Grey Eyes and his group of 25 Indian boys were credited by Governor Grant in finding a route through the difficult Florida swamps and wild county. This routing may have followed ancient Indian pathways to become the Old Kings Road. The Kings Road in Florida existed from the American Revolution right up to 1914 and was the prime entry way to Florida before modern roads were built. This is researched historical fiction by author Bill Ryan who also wrote "The Search for Old Kings Road", "Bulow Gold", "Osceola His Capture and Seminole Legends" stories of the rich and little known early history of Florida. Author Ryan uses the first person story to permit the characters to speak for themselves. Grey Eyes covers the rich and often violent story of early Florida.
