A Look into Spanish Activities in British East Florida,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spanish Observers and the American Revolution, 1775-1783 (Hardcover)
This is a great book, based on archival records from Spain (Archivo Militar de las Indias). Never before have I read a book with so much information about the Spanish activities during the British period in Florida in such a detailed manner and with so much references to the original source.
It has a load of informations on Spanish government spionage on and even the names of the floridanos, Minorcans, and Indians who were involved. Although the British always suspected that the Spanish goverment had such an activity, they were never aware of its extent at that time. I wish I have more books like this about early Florida, (1565-1845) there are tons of material waiting to be translated into English and discovered by writers in the city of St. Augustine several historic libraries (St. Augustine Historical Research Library, Flagler College, University of Florida,etc) and much more in the archival records of Spain. I really thank the author, Light Townsend Cummins for all his efforts in this wonderful and detailed book, I hope others will follow. |
