  • Summary

  • In Florida, the heat, bugs and thieves leave Samuel and the crew little rest while the land is transitioned over to the Spanish. The threat of illness or being attacked by a wild bear or "tyger cat" is always looming over the men as they wait to return to Great Britain. This episode offers a glimpse into a unique time near St. Augustine, Florida, when the land was still untamed.
