La Florida | Miguel Mora: Conquest and Captivity in Spanish Florida

Dr. J. Michael Francis, Executive Director of La Florida and the Hough Family Endowed Chair of Florida Studies at USF St. Petersburg and his students have created La Florida, which through short videos, interactive maps and digital reconstructions, brings to life the diverse melting pot of people that made up early Spanish Florida, from Spanish conquistadors and Native Americans to free and enslaved blacks and Europeans from Germany, Ireland, and Eastern Europe.
