The English intrusion, coupled with fierce pirate raids, stimulated a Spanish program of defense. At Santa Catalina a garrison was now established beside the mission. It was the founding of Charleston that introduced the stone age at San Agustin. Hitherto the old fort had been a wooden structure. But now a crisis had arisen.

Indians were levied from Guale, Timucua, and Apalache to work on the fortification.1
