Book Description
Excerpt from A Selected Bibliography of the Florida-Louisiana Frontier With References to the Caribbean, 1492-1819 The European contact with native cultures is the watershed between prehistory and history, for it signals a common heritage shared by all Americans. Clearly, the common history of the United States and Latin America is reinforced by a pan-american heritage that began long before Europeans set foot on the Western Hemisphere. Our American Indian heritage is tens of thousands of years old, compared to our European past. Much is still to be learned about our collective past in many parts of North America. Even lesser known in the southeastern United States is our Spanish Colonial Heritage that began soon after 1492 when Christopher Columbus awakened to a New World. The colonial-native relationships that developed throughout North America are part of our national story and, when seen through the wide lens of history, it is part of a much larger heritage that unfolded in the Western Hemisphere. Spain's efforts to colonize North and South America is yet another part of our pan-american heritage. The georgia-florida frontier, the Gulf Islands frontier, the Louisiana frontier, and the Mississippi River Valley fron tier are part of the Spanish claim that took place from a common geographic point: Cuba. Today, the National Park Service, the various southeastern states and protectorates of the United States commemorate many Spanish Colonial Heritage sites in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Together with the Native American heritage, Christopher Columbus's European discovery of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on his second voyage, 1493-96, represents a vantage point for the National Park Serv ice's efforts to preserve our historical patrimony.

Book Description
In an unprecedented legal agreement, Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States in an afternoon. The Louisiana Purchase was an 1803 transaction in which the United States bought over 280,000 acres of land from the French.?During the Napoleonic Wars between France and Britain, the slave uprisings in the French holdings in the Caribbean left France in financial trouble. Jefferson sent James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston to Paris to negotiate the buying of the city of New Orleans, a crucial port city for America.?To their surprise, Napoleon offered the entire French territory for a price of $15 million. On December 20, 1803, the French flag was lowered in New Orleans and the flag of the United States of America flew in its stead.?Between 1804 and 1806, under the orders of Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark explored the new territory, bringing back samples of plants, foods and animals native to the area. These reports and more are included in this volume.
