#OTD The #Botanist John #Bartram wrote,
"[That] was the #Fatal night that destroyed the #Lime, #Citron & #Banana trees in #StAugustine."
Bernard's "Natural History of #Florida" also wrote about the #Freeze:
"A #Frost destroyed all the #Tropical productions of the country, except the #Oranges.
The #Spaniards called this a #Judgment on the place [becoming] the property of #Heretics - they had never experienced the like."
