Colonial Plantations and Economy in Florida

By Jane G. Landers

This illustrated collection documents the rich history of Florida's earliest indigo, rice, and cotton plantations, cattle ranches, timbering operations, and Atlantic commercial networks. Based on primary research in archives in England, Scotland, Spain, Cuba, Minorca, and Florida as well as upon archaeological investigations, the essays trace for the first time the relationship of Florida to both the Caribbean and the Atlantic economies and document Florida's national and international significance in the colonial period.
