THE FLAGS THE SPANISH FLAG planted on Florida soil by Juan Ponce de Leon in the year 1513, bearing the quartered arms of Castile and Leon on a red and white field, is generally accepted as having beer, the first European standard flown on American soil. It was used by Columbus in 1492, Panfilo de Narvaez in 1528, and Hernando de Soto in 1539. THE FRENCH FLAG, unfurled over Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River by Rene Goulainc de Lau-donniere in the year 1561, bearing three golden fleur-de-lis on a blue field, had its origin in the legendary blue cloak of St. Martin, which he shared with a beggar at Amiens and was familiarly known as “The Chape de Martin . This standard was used as the national French flag until the birth of the tri-color during the Revolution. THE BRITISH FLAG, unfurled over Florida during the British dominion, 1763 to 1783, bearing on a blue field the combined crosses of St. George and St. Andrew (the patron saints of England and Scotland), became the first Union Jack of Great Britain by proclamation of James I of England, upon the union of Scotland and England in the year 1603, and was the only flag used over forts and public buildings in the English colonies. THE BATTLE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERACY, adopted in 1861, was unfurled over Florida after her secession from the Union on the 10th day of January, 1861. THE STARS AND STRIPES OF THE UNITED STATES, bearing the twenty-three stars for the twenty-three states of the Union, was unfurled over St. Augustine on the 16th day of July, over Pensacola on the 21st day of July, 1821, upon the ceding of Florida to the United States by Spain.
