This presentation will continue exploring the early history of European settlement efforts in Florida. It recounts the remarkably rich, yet much neglected history of colonization in the US southeast in the 16th century, a process that began almost a century before Jamestown. This presentation will give the audience an excellent background to understand our rich Spanish history.

One of the country’s leading experts on the history of the Spanish colonial experience in Florida, Dr. J. Michael Francis, participates in the highly regarded Florida Studies Program at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.
