Poem, La Florida, Alonso Gregorio De Escobedo, Mikaela Perron, Thomas B. Hallock Dec 1597

Poem, La Florida, Alonso Gregorio De Escobedo, Mikaela Perron, Thomas B. Hallock

Early Visions Bucket

"Alonso Gregorio de Escobedo, a Franciscan hailing from Andalucía, arrived in St. Augustine on October 7, 1587. Little is known about his life, except for what he included in his epic poem 'La Florida.' Penned sometime between 1598 and 1615, this massive composite work was modeled after the metrically elegant style of the octava real, the preferred poetic structure in Spanish letters at his time. Written as a poem, rather than a historical document, “La Florida” is read today for its anthropologically significant information, such as the description of Indian fishing practices found in Canto 27."

"Carpenter and Protestant lay minister Nicolas Le Challeux documented his experiences in Florida in Discours de l’histoire de la florite contenant la trahison del Espangnols, contre les sujects du Roy (1579). Along with the chronicle of his journey, he also wrote two poems, one of which wittily warns future travelers about less-than-appealing prospects in a now 'lost colony.' As many Frenchmen were starving during their time in the New World, Le Challeux eerily named his octet, 'Hungry.'”

Petition, Request To The King, Unknown, A. E. Hammond, Valerie Lanham Dec 1563

Petition, Request To The King, Unknown, A. E. Hammond, Valerie Lanham

Early Visions Bucket

"In the early morning of September 20, 1564, the Spanish attacked Fort Caroline, a French stronghold on the eastern Florida coastline near present day Jacksonville. Sparing approximately 60 women and children, the Spanish transported these captives to Puerto Rico. Eventually some returned to France where a petition, penned by an anonymous hand, appealed to King Charles IX for retaliation against the Spanish. The petitioners condemned the injustice and barbarity of the Spanish, pleaded for the king to intervene, and implored the restorative French right to the Florida province."

Poem, Commendation Of Thomas Stutely, Robert Seall, Michael Sadler

Early Visions Bucket

"Registered and printed around July of 1563, this English broadside ballad is the only work attributed to the author, Robert Seall, and it focuses on Thomas Stukeley. A man steeped in controversy since birth, Stukeley (Stucley, Stukely, Stutely–scholars have collected up to 24 spellings) was rumored to be a bastard child of Henry VIII and led a long life of piracy. The ballad was a public relations move to improve Stukeley’s image after a long life of alleged piracy and his revealing plans of an Anglo-Huguenot venture to Florida to a Spanish ambassador in London."
