Among documents of Florida's Spanish colonial period, few eyewitness accounts exist. One of these, the 1595 narrative by Fray Andres de San Miguel, expertly translated by John Hann, describes the two-year odyssey of a teenager from Spain across the Atlantic to Mexico, Havana, and Florida and finally back to Spain. The future friar's account of his experiences as a young sailor brings to life the fleets of the Golden Age of Spain and reveals how those adventures would change his life forever. After Andres's ship passed Cape Canaveral, it was battered by a four-day storm and separated from the fleet. The officers commandeered the only launch and escaped; the crew kept the ship afloat and improvised a box-like vessel in which 30 survivors reached shore near the mouth of the Altamaha River. The author offers detailed descriptions of the Guale Indians and of Mission San Pedro Mocama on Cumberland Island. He also provides vignettes of life in St. Augustine and, on his way to Havana, of encounters with South Florida Indians. The adventure closes with Fray Andres' return to Cadiz, where he witnessed the 1596 British siege and burning of that port. Only seventeen years old at the time of th

Richard L. Thornton
5.0 out of 5 stars Andres provides an eyewitness account of the ruins of Fort Caroline in Georgia
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014
Andres de San Miguel's eyewitness account of visiting the ruins of Fort Caroline shortly after leaving the Native town of Asao was one of the key evidences that convinced me that Fort Caroline was on the Altamaha River in Georgia as shown on all French, Spanish and English maps. Asao was probably on St. Catherines Island, about 20 miles north of the mouth of the Altamaha. Four more days of canoe travel would be required before he would be near the St. Johns River in Florida.

The entire book is a remarkable snapshot of life in the late 16th century Spanish colonies around the Gulf of Mexico. It is a very valuable resource for all scholars and amateur historians, who are interested in that era.
