The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner 2020 University of Central Florida

The Nine Old Wooden Forts Of St. Augustine, Jeannette Thurber Conner

Florida Historical Quarterly

Florida Historical Quarterly

There were two purposes in the coming of the Spaniards to America. One was the desire for gain; the other the hope of making Christians of the natives. Unfortunately the two conflicted.

The Truth Regarding "Tiger-Tail", Isabella M. Williams

Florida Historical Quarterly

Dictionaries do not agree in all things, but upon one point there is no difference of opinion: history is avowedly a recital of actual occurrences.
