Florida Indians and the Invasion from Europe Paperback / softback

Description

When the conquistadors arrived in Florida in the early sixteenth century, as many as 350,000 native Americans lived in the territory.

For more than twelve centuries their ancestors had resided there, fishing, hunting, gathering wild plants, and sometimes cultivating crops.

Two and a half centuries later, Florida's Indians were gone.

Focusing on those native peoples and their interactions with Spanish and French explorers and colonists, Jerald Milanich describes this massive cultural change.

Using information gathered from archaeological excavations and from the interpretation of historical documents left behind by the colonial powers, he explains where the native groups came from, where they lived, and what happened to them.

He closes with the tragic disappearance of the original inhabitants in the eighteenth century and the first appearance of the ancestors of Florida's present Native Americans.
