reviews: The Spanish Missions of La Florida

    Return to The Spanish Missions of La Florida American Indian Quarterly"The Spanish Missions of La Florida deserves a place on the shelf of anyone with a serious interest in American Indians, in Spanish American frontiers, or in the once-powerful institution of the mission, through which Christianity was joined to geopolitics." North American Archaeologist"an excellent compilation of work accomplished by archaeologists and historians on mission sites during the last two decades, which have been the most activity (sic) period of investigations to date." Gulf Coast Historical Review"The Spanish Missions of La Florida is an important volume for those interested in the Spanish colonization of the southeastern United States. Comprised of several studies of mission period sites, and the biological and cultural impact of the Spanish interaction with native populations, it contains discussions of the major research of the past two decades on the missionization of La Florida. This book is pertinent for anyone interested in Spanish missions or the implications of culture contact." Catholic Historical Review"indispensable for a knowledge of the first 200 years of Catholic evangelization in the Southeast." Historical Archaeology"I strongly recommend this publication for established scholars and students alike. I especially recommend it for mission archaeologists working in the West. It contains key points from the research, and it is a good source of data. This book should be in the library of every archaeologist, regardless of specialty." -- Historical Archaeology American Archaeology"If you have ever wondered about the Indian tribes who lived in the American Southeast at the time of European settlement, this book is for you." - American Archaeology
