This book succeeds resoundingly in its goal to offer this new manuscript copy of Solís de Merás to historians of Florida and the wider United States."-- H-Florida "A welcome contribution to sixteenth-century scholarship. . . . Offers an important perspective on a contested historical space."-- Journal of Southern History, "Until now, historians have had to rely on a single incomplete, flawed version of this work. . . . This new edition is most welcome. It will be the authoritative version of this work, notonly revealing previously unappreciated historical details, but also helping us understandthe man and his historical context." --The Americas "Arbesú's important new bilingual volume is the product of his 2012 discovery of a second early manuscript copy of the Solís de Merás narrative. . . . This new edition . . . unquestionably belongs on the bookshelf of any serious scholar of sixteenth-century Spanish Florida and should take its place as the definitive edition of this important early narrative." --Hispanic American Historical Review "A welcome contribution to sixteenth-century scholarship. . . . Offers an important perspective on a contested historical space." --Journal of Southern History "This book succeeds resoundingly in its goal to offer this new manuscript copy of Solís de Merás to historians of Florida and the wider United States." --H-Net "A valuable addition for public libraries in Florida and all college and university libraries." --Choice
