At the settlement of _la Caroline_ , French settlers struggled for survival in
a new world.  Many sought religious freedom in a new land, while others were
soldiers or tradesmen starting a new life.  The climactic battles fought here
between the French and Spanish marked the first time that European nations
fought for control of lands in what is now the United States.  It would not be
the last time.
