In 1513, the Spanish landed at, what is now known to be, St. Augustine. The local natives were over 7' tall and in excellent health so the Spanish felt that the "Fountain of Youth" was near by. The Spanish leader, Ponce de Leon, was 4' 11" tall, with his hat on. He was the tallest on his ship.
Bill and I were able to sample the water from the original spring of the first settlement. It has quite a mineral/sulpher flavor, similar to "medicinal" spring water.
