The book provides insights into St. Augustine, which is renowned for being the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States. Its primary focus is the city's rich historical context and its appeal as a health resort for invalids, emphasizing climate and local amenities.  In this book, Sewall explores various aspects of St. Augustine, beginning with its geographical description and historical foundation by Pedro Melendez in 1565. The narrative elaborates on significant events such as the massacre of the Huguenots by the Spanish and the city's struggles through wars and invasions. Additionally, the author discusses the local climate's benefits for health, especially for those suffering from chronic illnesses. He also reflects on social life, public accommodations, and the unique cultural practices of the area, presenting a vivid but concise portrait of St. Augustine as a destination for travelers seeking both wellness and historical exploration.
