- Summary:
- "La Florida explores a Spanish thread to early American history that is unfamiliar or even unknown to most Americans. As La Florida uncovers, it was Spanish influence, not English, which drove America's early history. By focusing on America's Spanish heritage, the book's collection of stories complicates and sometimes challenges how Americans view their past, which author Kevin Kokomoor refers to as 'the country's founding mythology.'"-- Provided by publisher.
