Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selected Bibliography of the Florida-Louisiana Frontier With References to the Caribbean, 1492-1819 The European contact with native cultures is the watershed between prehistory and history, for it signals a common heritage shared by all Americans. Clearly, the common history of the United States and Latin America is reinforced by a pan-american heritage that began long before Europeans set foot on the Western Hemisphere. Our American Indian heritage is tens of thousands of years old, compared to our European past. Much is still to be learned about our collective past in many parts of North America. Even lesser known in the southeastern United States is our Spanish Colonial Heritage that began soon after 1492 when Christopher Columbus awakened to a New World. The colonial-native relationships that developed throughout North America are part of our national story and, when seen through the wide lens of history, it is part of a much larger heritage that unfolded in the Western Hemisphere. Spain's efforts to colonize North and South America is yet another part of our pan-american heritage. The georgia-florida frontier, the Gulf Islands frontier, the Louisiana frontier, and the Mississippi River Valley fron tier are part of the Spanish claim that took place from a common geographic point: Cuba. Today, the National Park Service, the various southeastern states and protectorates of the United States commemorate many Spanish Colonial Heritage sites in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Together with the Native American heritage, Christopher Columbus's European discovery of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on his second voyage, 1493-96, represents a vantage point for the National Park Serv ice's efforts to preserve our historical patrimony.

Book To the Vast and Beautiful Land

Download or read book To the Vast and Beautiful Land written by Light Townsend Cummins and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Vast and Beautiful Land gathers eleven essays written by Light Townsend Cummins, a foremost authority on Texas and Louisiana during the Spanish colonial era, and traces the arc of the author’s career over a quarter of a century. Each essay includes a new introduction linking the original article to current scholarship and forms the connective tissue for the volume. A new bibliography updates and supplements the sources cited in the essays. From the “enduring community” of Anglo-American settlers in colonial Natchez to the Gálvez family along the Gulf Coast and their participation in the American Revolution, Cummins shows that mercantile commerce and land acquisition went hand-in-hand as dual motivations for the migration of English-speakers into Louisiana and Texas. Mercantile trade dominated by Anglo-Americans increasingly tied the Mississippi valley and western Gulf Coast to the English-speaking ports of the Atlantic world bridging two centuries, shifting it away from earlier French and Spanish commercial patterns. As a result, Anglo-Americans moved to the region as residents and secured land from Spanish authorities, who often welcomed them with favorable settlement policies. This steady flow of settlement set the stage for families such as the Austins—first Moses and later his son Stephen—to take root and further “Anglocize” a colonial region. Taken together, To the Vast and Beautiful Land makes a new contribution to the growing literature on the history of the Spanish borderlands in North America.
