"Historical Sketches of Colonial Florida" by Richard L. Campbell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the history of British rule in West Florida and its interactions with Spanish colonialism, focusing particularly on the settlement of Pensacola and the indigenous Creeks. It provides a detailed exploration of pivotal events, figures, and shifting power dynamics in the colonial period. The opening of the narrative introduces the expedition of Panfilo de Narvaez in 1528, illustrating the challenges faced by early European explorers and settlers. It recounts Narvaez's ill-fated journey to find a route to Mexico, the landing at what is now Pensacola Bay, and the subsequent misfortunes that befell him and his crew. These include shipwreck, harsh conditions, and encounters with indigenous peoples. The text sets the stage for further discussion of subsequent Spanish explorations, as well as the establishment of a settlement by Don Tristram de Luna in the mid-16th century, emphasizing the legacy and complexities of colonial endeavors in Florida.
