A unique history of the grounds that now comprise St. Augustine National Cemetery. First associated with the Convento de San Francisco, the Franciscan mission established on the property in 1588, the book follows the evolution of 1.4 acres of that land from garden and orchard into part of the city's defensive system, then the site of barracks and hospitals, and finally development of the cemetery into the final resting place for more than 2,800 veterans and family members. Also included are twenty biographical sketches of individuals buried at the site from the time of its establishment as a post cemetery in the late 1820s to the present.
