Return Home And Death ; "Queen Louise has been the subject of a series of biographies, romances, dramas, and poems, written from various points of view and coloured by the political convictions of the authors. She is known but not known rightly. Yet now, in our days (1929), her personality is more vivid than ever. But a true picture of the life and the ordeals of the German Princess requires as a background a full knowledge of Napoleon and his history. Without an understanding of the political plans of the mighty opponent, it is impossible to understand Louise as a standard bearer in the struggle for nationality and for the ideas of national reconstruction. In her lived the spirit of the epoch. Her share in Prussian state affairs laid the foundation of Germany's future, even though her political advice appeared, at the time, to militate against the welfare of Prussia. But upon the temporary ruin of Prussia arose the greatness and unity of Germany. Excepting for the early years of her cloudless, peaceful marriage with Frederic William III, Louise's existence was full of sorrow and chagrin. The immediate results of her interference in public business were tragic for her and for her country. She lived through experiences in which neither romance nor cruel fatalities were lacking. From the idyllic hours of her girlhood to the harrowing moment of her early death, everything in her life was unprecedented and exciting."--Preface ; orange cloth with black lettering; no dustjacket ; FINE.

On his way to Spain, where he had been born, to start his formal education, Fontaneda wascaptured by the Florida Indians and lived amongst them for seventeen years, traveling with theIndians, learning native culture, and acquiring valuable knowledge about the Florida peninsula. His1575 account, or "Memoir," describes the rugged environment, flora and fauna, foodways,geographic and ethnic regions.Before Fontaneda's arrival, others sought gold and a river of eternal youth in Florida. However,Fontaneda's experience in La Florida had him in desire of other things-valuable pearls around theSouthern coast of Florida, cattle and Spanish supremacy over the Florida natives.Historically, Fontaneda's account provides the city of Tampa's earliest written mention ("Tanpa") aswell as the names of the important villages of the Calusa. Also, this document is instrumental tothe development of the fountain of youth legend, as it contains one of the earliest mentions of JuanPonce de León's search for the healing waters of Florida.Many Spaniards on cross-Atlantic trade routes had shipwrecked on the Florida Cays or sandbarsand coral reefs like Fontaneda.
