Eye for an Eye: A True Story of Life, Liberty, Murder—and the Pursuit of Revenge—at the Birth of America Paperback – June 4, 2022

by Joseph Ford Cotto (Author)

Purchase options and add-ons

They came for freedom. They found it—for a while. They had no idea what was coming next.

When all was said and done, most of them were dead. Slain in the New World by tyrants from the Old Continent, it seemed like their massacre would go unavenged. One man made sure this did not happen. His vengeance was so epic that it echoes from age to age. Still, nowadays, precious few are aware of him, those who he revenged, the men he fought ... and the European crisis which created a warzone in America.

This story—in all its horrific, enraging, heartbreaking, shocking, and, perhaps, unbelievable truth—set the stage for an America we know well. Before there was Jamestown, Philadelphia, Boston, Manhattan, or even a Pilgrim at Plymouth Rock, there was Fort Caroline, St. Augustine, and the bloodcurdling battle over who would control Florida.

On one side was France. Striving to avoid civil war, it was in desperate search of a refuge for its Protestant minority. On the other side was Spain. Newly liberated from Muslim rule, and hellbent on controlling as much of the world as possible, it forced Roman Catholicism onto the masses. Caught in the middle were American Indians who went out of their way to welcome the newcomers. These natives ultimately suffered for their kindness.

If you seek to truly understand American history, then the saga of Eye for an Eye is essential reading. Learn about the history which has an immense impact on our present, yet was largely forgotten. Discover how awful the mistakes of the past were—and draw your own conclusions about what this means for the future. See how far some people went for freedom ... the same freedom often taken for granted in modern times. Unearth how colonial history is far more complex than white against black or red.

This story of the past may just change how you see the present—and the future.
