Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When Europeans arrived in southwest Florida in the early sixteenth century, they encountered a complex and powerful society. The Calusa, subject of this study by two of Floridas most eminent scholars, pose an enigma to anthropologists and historians. Their high political developmentmarked by class distinctions, a special military force, and an elaborate belief systemis typical of many agricultural societies. But the Calusa, a fisherhuntergatherer people, raised no crops.The work provides missing information on the ethnography of the Calusa, a society that inhabited the area of Florida now known as Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties. The compilation of historical documents includes many reports never before translated into English, including letters from Pedro Menndez, reports from governors, bishops, soldiers, and King Charles II, and eyewitness testimony from priests and laypersons about mission efforts from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries.Hann introduces Spanish contact with the Calusa from the early seventeenth century, focusing particularly on the illfated Franciscan attempt in 1697 to convert the Calusa to Christianity. His documentation for this effort, more voluminous than for any other Spanish mission to Florida, is particularly valuable for its description of the role played by the Crown in instigating the mission despite little enthusiasm from religious authorities.Over two centuries the Calusas relations with the Spaniards changed from wariness and hostility to a solid alliance with them against other Europeans. During the final fifty years of Calusa existence as a culture, other Native Americans, acting as agents of European opportunists, literally pushed the Calusa into the sea.
