(George Rainsford) 1820 1906 Fairbanks, George Rainsford The Spaniards in Florida Comprising the Notable Settlement of the Huguenots in 1564, and the History and Antiquities of St. Augustine, Founded A.D. 1565 Produced by Chuck Greif, University of Florida Digital Collections and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Spaniards in Florida" by George R. Fairbanks is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the early Spanish explorations and settlements in Florida, particularly highlighting the notable establishment of St. Augustine and the fate of the Huguenots under colonization pressures. Fairbanks presents a detailed examination of the events surrounding these settlements, using historical sources to narrate the tumultuous interactions between the French Huguenots and Spanish forces. At the start of the book, Fairbanks sets the stage by contrasting the present-day appearance of St. Augustine with its rich historical significance as the oldest permanent European settlement in the United States. He elaborates on the foundational periods led by explorers like Juan Ponce de Leon and the establishment of French Huguenot settlements, followed by the Spanish takeover led by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. The opening chapters provide a glimpse into the struggles of the Huguenots against Spanish ambitions, the establishment of Fort Caroline, and the brutal consequences of exacerbating religious and national tensions during the 16th century. This introduction primes the reader for a deeper exploration of the complex colonial history of Florida and its implications.
