Octavo, softbound (full-color illus. slick wrappers), 316 pp. Near-Fine. From lower cover: Religious persecution in France persuades a group of sixteenth century Protestants to search for a better life in the New World. After encountering friendly Indians in Florida, they set up their colony near the estuary of the St. Johns River but things soon begin to go wrong. Disillusionment and desertion are quickly followed by insurrection. Then, as winter sets in, the spectre of starvation looms. Misunderstandings with the local Indians cause further difficulties. The story is related by one of the colonists, a painter, who had been ordered to record 'anything new he might discover in that province.' In fact, he was probably the first European artist ever to produce ethnographic studies of the North American Indians and he paints here an intriguing picture of their cultural practices and beliefs. In the light of his observations, however, he begins to question the European values he has inherited and there are parallels throughout the story between his quest for independent truth and the explorations of his fellow colonists in their search for an el Dorado. All this is set against a background of bitter rivalry between the monarchs of Europe for land in the New World. The story ends with a dramatic attack by the Spanish on the colonists and the painter's desperate escape for freedom. Care has been taken to ensure all the principal events described herein are historically accurate, and new insights are suggested into the birth of Protestantism and why it eventually became the predominate religion of the United States.
