Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedro Menendez sailed to Florida on his flagship, the San Pelayo, named after a knight who had successfully defeated the Spanish Moors 850 years earlier. There were twenty cabin boys on board the San Pelayo.Ship boys or cabin boys were from ages eleven to thirteen. Many boys were from poor families who could neither clothe nor feed them. They were servants to the officers and worked long hours, often doing the necessary dirty work onboard the ships.This courageous story is told through the eyes of one such fictitious cabin boy named Rocco that would witness the first Thanksgiving on September 8, 1565. This historic event would take place 42 years before Jamestown was settled and 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Today a 208’ cross marks the spot where the landing happened. Rocco would also follow Menendez on his voyage to chart Florida’s coastline, destroy the French fort in Florida, evangelize the Florida Indians, and colonize Florida in the name of the King of Spain – King Philip II. Menendez was also searching for his missing son Juan. His son’s fleet of thirteen ships scattered in a storm off the coast of Florida five years earlier. Only eight ships returned to Spain.All of this true tale is told through the eyes of a child but backed up with historical notes, character reference guide, a timeline, nautical terminology, and a bibliography.

Download or read book Pedro Men ndez de Avil s and the Conquest of Florida written by Gonzalo Solís de Merás and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1519–1574) founded St. Augustine in 1565. His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Solís de Merás, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America’s oldest city. Until recently, the only extant version of Solís de Merás’s record was one single manuscript that Eugenio Ruidíaz y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruidíaz’s text. In 2012, David Arbesú discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document. In the resulting volume, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and the Conquest of Florida, Arbesú sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine’s founding. By consulting the original chronicle, Arbesú provides readers with the definitive bilingual edition of this seminal text.

Download or read book The Adelantamiento of Florida 1565 1568 written by Eugene Lyon and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Florida conquest of 1565-1568 was accomplished by an entrepreneur titled Adelantado ^ in keeping with a Castilian tradition of expansion by Royal. surrogate. Ade - lantados underwrote the pacification and settlement of new lemds in return for license to exploit them and the granting of titles, monopolies, revenues 2md lands. The Hapsburg ruler Philip II, caught between urgent dynastic policies and limited resources, created many adelantamientos and promulgated Royal ordinances in 1563 which defined a place for private conquerors in Spanish expansion. After Spanish-French negotiations over New World spheres of influence collapsed, Philip II attempted to conquer a Huguenot settlement at Port Royal and appointed Lucas Vazquez Ayll6n Adelcintado in 1563. Both the Spanish and French attempts failed, but another French expedition built Fort Caroline in 1564. The capture of mutineers from its garrison eventually resulted in the dispatch of news of the fort to Spain. Meamwhile, the Asturiam seeman Pedro Menendez de Avil€s had become an Indies trader and Royal fleet official, After conflict with the House of Trade led to his jailing at Seville, Menendez was freed and signed a contract with Philip II for the conquest and settlement of Florida at his own expense. Only later, after knowledge of Fort Caroline reached Spain, did the Crown add troops and supplies to Menendez' own effort. Thereafter, the Florida conquest was a joint-venture, with the resources of the Adelantado proving the more telling. Menendez had recourse to a network of Asturian noble families to help staff and finance his enterprise. The Mayordomo of this network was Pedro del Castillo of Cadiz, who held a contract with Menendez to supply and sustain his efforts in Florida. This network was built through the use of powers-of-attorney. The events of the conquest tested Menendez' resources to the utmost. His decision to proceed directly to Florida in 1565 made victory over Jean Ribault possible but cost heavily in ships, lives, and money. Menendez had great difficulty providing for his Florida garrisons after Royal aid promised failed to materialize, and he lost private income potential through the loss of many ships. The unruly contract soldiers' mutinies and rebellions cost Menendez dear, and their treatment of the natives undermined his Indian policies. In spite of obstacles, Pedro Menendez and his norteno conquest group explored much of the adelantcuniento of Florida, which extended from the Gulf Coast around the Keys to Newfoundland. They established forts 2md missions in the peninsula, to the north, and inlamd to the Appalachiems, and founded the cities whose cabildos were to be the foci of local government and the means of land distribution. Menendez set up a system of local government and promulgated ordinances to regulate it. In keeping with his dream for Florida development, Menendez arranged to fund the coming of hundreds of settlers, and all shared in the hope for agricultural and commercial growth in an atmosphere of community. The Adelantado himself expected to Obtain the title of Marquis, to be backed by his huge land-grant from the King. Jesuit missionaries labored diligently with the Indians, but made little headway. At the end of the first phase of the Florida conquest in mid-1568, Pedro Menendez had been personally rewarded by his King for his deeds in Florida, and Philip II had agreed to support a minimum garrison at Royal expense. Real penetration of the land and pacification of the Indians had not yet been accomplished, however.
