520 From the Publisher: In 1513, when Ponce de Leon stepped
ashore on a beach of what is now Florida, Spain gained its
first foothold in North America. For the next three
hundred years, Spaniards ranged through the continent
building forts to defend strategic places, missions to
proselytize Indians, and farms, ranches, and towns to
reconstruct a familiar Iberian world. This engagingly
written and well-illustrated book presents an up-to-date
overview of the Spanish colonial period in North America.
It provides a sweeping account not only of the Spaniards'
impact on the lives, institutions, and environments of the
native peoples but also of the effect of native North
Americans on the societies and cultures of the Spanish
settlers. With apt quotations and colorful detail, David
J. Weber evokes the dramatic era of the first Spanish-
Indian contact in North America, describes the
establishment, expansion, and retraction of the Spanish
frontier, and recounts the forging of a Hispanic empire
that ranged from Florida to California. Weber refutes the
common assumption that while the English and French came
to the New World to settle or engage in honest trade, the
Spaniards came simply to plunder. The Spanish missionaries,
soldiers, and traders who lived in America were influenced
by diverse motives, and Weber shows that their behavior
must be viewed in the context of their own time and within
their own frame of reference. Throughout his book Weber
deals with many other interesting issues, including the
difference between English, French, and Spanish treatment
of Indians, the social and economic integration of Indian
women into Hispanic society, and the reasons why Spanish
communities in North America failed to develop at the rate
that the English settlements did. His magisterial work
broadens our understanding of the American past by
illuminating a neglected but integral part of the nation's
heritage.
