Gilmore (William Gilmore) Cooper, Frank 08013059 The Lily and the Totem; or, The Huguenots in Florida Produced by René Anderson Benitz and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Lily and the Totem; or, The Huguenots in Florida" by William Gilmore Simms is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The narrative focuses on the Huguenots, French Protestants fleeing persecution, as they endeavor to establish a colony in Florida during the 16th century. The text documents their struggles, interactions with Native American tribes, and the overarching historical context of colonization, reflecting both picturesque and tragic elements of their story. The opening of the book sets up the premise of the Huguenots’ plight, detailing their desperate search for a safe haven from religious persecution in France. It introduces key figures, such as Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, who spearheads the colonization effort, and John Ribault, who leads the first expedition to Florida. Simms explores the motivations, aspirations, and challenges faced by the Huguenots as they navigate the complexities of forming relations with Indigenous peoples and the harsh realities of a new life in a foreign land. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for the unfolding drama, illustrating a blend of hope and foreboding as the colonists embark on their ambitious quest for a new home.
