This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... it was given to the greatest boor (maiotru) meanest male present of the crowd; in truth some do not taste of the head, nor of the rest of the body except with horror. Others eat human flesh with a relish, and I have heard savages in our cabin speak with gusto of the flesh of an Iroquois, and praise its goodness in the same terms as they would the flesh of a deer or au elk." (Relation de Jean Rrebeuf. July, 1636, p. 121.) VII. REMAINS OF ANIMALS IN THE SHELL MOUNDS. We have mentioned, on u previous page, some of the more conspicuous animals, noticed by travellers and naturalists, which formerly inhabited or still live on the shores of the St. John's. The explorations of the shell heaps show to what extent these and other species were used as food by the earliest inhabitants. The accompanying table, based upon the pieces of bone found in the mounds, gives a complete list of the species recognized, the most of which are supposed to have been eaten; followed from side to side it shows the mounds in which the remains of one and the same animal have been detected, and from above downwards the different kinds of animals found in one and the same mound. The bones are not found however in equal numbers, for while some species are abundant there are others which are represented by a very few pieces, as the bear and the wild turkey, or even by a single piece, leaving the explanation of its presence somewhat doubtful. As the table shows, the species most commonly met with, that is in the largest number of mounds, are the deer, the hard and soft-shelled turtles, the alligator, gar-pike, cat-fish, and a species of whiting (Umbrina), and these, it may be stated, are also the most frequent in the individual mounds. The cat-fish are still frequently...

A selection of writings from naturalists John and William Bartram, who explored Florida in 1765 In 1765 father and son naturalists John and William Bartram explored the St. Johns River Valley in Florida, a newly designated British territory and subtropical wonderland. They collected specimens and recorded extensive observations of the region’s plants, animals, geography, ecology, and Native cultures. The chronicle of their adventures provided the world with an intimate look at La Florida. Travels on the St. Johns River includes writings from the Bartrams' journey in a flat-bottomed boat from St. Augustine to the river's swampy headwaters near Lake Loughman, just west of today’s Cape Canaveral. Vivid entries from John's Diary detail the settlement locations of Indigenous people and what vegetation overtook the river's slow current. Excerpts from William's narrative, written a decade later when he tried to make a home in East Florida, contemplate the environment and the river that would come to be regarded as the liquid heart of his celebrated Travels. A selection of personal letters reveal John's misgivings about his son's decision to become a planter in a pine barren with little shelter, but they also speak to William's belated sense of accomplishment for traveling past his father's footsteps. Editors Thomas Hallock and Richard Franz provide valuable commentary and a modern record of the flora and fauna the Bartrams encountered. Taken together, the firsthand accounts and editorial notes help us see the land through the explorers' eyes and witness the many environmental changes the centuries have wrought.

Large accumulations of ancient shells on coastlines and riverbanks were long considered the result of garbage disposal during repeated food gatherings by early inhabitants of the southeastern United States. In this volume, Asa R. Randall presents the first new theoretical framework for examining such middens since Ripley Bullen’s seminal work sixty years ago. He convincingly posits that these ancient “garbage dumps” were actually burial mounds, ceremonial gathering places, and often habitation spaces central to the histories and social geography of the hunter-gatherer societies who built them. Synthesizing more than 150 years of shell mound investigations and modern remote sensing data, Randall rejects the long-standing ecological interpretation and redefines these sites as socially significant monuments that reveal previously unknown complexities about the hunter-gatherer societies of the Mount Taylor period (ca. 7400–4600 cal. B.P.). Affected by climate change and increased scales of social interaction, the region’s inhabitants modified the landscape in surprising and meaningful ways. This pioneering volume presents an alternate history from which emerge rich details about the daily activities, ceremonies, and burial rituals of the archaic St. Johns River cultures.

Clarence B. Moore (1852-1936), a wealthy Philadelphia socialite, paper company heir, and photographer, made the archaeology of the Southeast his passion beginning in the 1870s. This volume collects 17 of Moore's publications on East Florida, works originally published between 1892 and 1903. These invaluable and copiously illustrated works amply document the results of Moore's numerous archaeological expeditions along Florida's eastern Coasline from the Georgia border to Late Okeechobee between 1891 and 1895 and focus primarily on sites along the St. Johns River and its tributaries.
