Product Description
This is the first book-length study to use Spanish language sources in documenting the original Indian inhabitants of West Florida who, from the late 16th century to the 1740s, lived to the west and the north of the Apalachee. Previous authors who studied the forebears of Creeks and Seminoles from the Chattahoochee Valley have relied exclusively on English sources dating from the second half of the 18th century, with the exception of John R. Swanton, who had limited access to Spanish records for his classic works from 1922 to 1946. In this history of the region’s Native Americans, Hann focuses on the small tribes of West Florida—Amacano, Chine, Chacato, Chisca and Pansacola—and their first contacts with Spanish explorers, colonists, and missionaries. He also gives significant perspective to the forebears of the Lower Creeks, with an emphasis on the late 17th century, when Spanish documents recorded the important events of the interior regions of the Southeast. As Hann's fifth study of Florida natives, this book includes chapters on the Yamasee War and its aftermath and the early 18th-century dissolution of many societies and withdrawal of Spaniards from the region. This volume will be of great interest to archaeologists working in the Lower Southeast, historians and ethnohistorians specializing in Native American or Spanish colonial history, Latin American and Caribbean scholars concerned with Spanish colonial contexts, and anyone interested in Native Americans or Florida history.
About The Author
John H. Hann is site historian for the San Luis Archaeological and Historic Site in Tallahassee and the author of Indians of Central and South Florida, 1513-1763 (UPF, 2003), A History of the Timucuan Indians and Missions (UPF, 1996), and many other books and articles.
Reader Reviews
John Hann's works are wonderfully accessible to both the specialized student of Florida history and the general reader, and this book is no exception. Hann's studies of the Native American cultures of what today is the Florida panhandle and Alabama, particularly his study of the groups ancestral to the Creek Confederacy, is particularly helpful in understanding the dynamics of the struggles between Spain and England in the Southeast during the colonial period, as well as giving us a glimpse of the personalities, Native American (such as the "Emperor" Brims), Spanish, and English, that helped to shape the world we know. An excellent read and very well researched. I highly recommend this book.
