This first volume of John Worth's substantial two-volume work
studies the assimilation and eventual destruction of the indigenous
Timucuan societies of interior Spanish Florida near St. Augustine,
shedding new light on the nature and function of La Florida's
entire mission system. Beginning in this volume with analysis of
the late prehistoric chiefdoms, Worth traces the effects of
European exploration and colonization in the late 1500s and
describes the expansion of the mission frontier before 1630. As a
framework for understanding the Timucuan rebellion of 1654 and its
pacification, he explores the internal political and economic
structure of the colonial system. In volume 2, he shows that after
the geographic and political restructuring of the Timucua mission
province, the interior of Florida became a populated chain of
way-stations along the royal road between St. Augustine and the
Apalachee province. Finally, he describes rampant demographic
collapse in the missions, followed by English-sponsored raids,
setting a stage for their final years in Florida during the
mid-1700s. The culmination of nearly a decade of original research,
these books incorporate many previously unknown or little-used
Spanish documentary sources. As an analysis of both the Timucuan
chiefdoms and their integration into the colonial system, they
offer important discussion of the colonial experience for
indigenous groups across the nation and the rest of the Americas. A
