The Cross in the sand; the early Catholic Church in Florida, 1513-1870 by Michael Gannon.
"Sources": p. 191-198. Includes index.
"This is the story of the early Catholic Church in Florida told from original sources, as far as that was possible, and from the best secondary accounts."
Michael Gannon first traces Florida’s discovery by Catholics, their subsequent explorations, the Spanish settlements, and the evangelization of the Indians, followed by the tragic end of the missions and the temporary collapse of Catholic ascendancy during the British period. The story continues with the reappearance of Catholicism among Minorca immigrants; the establishment by the Church of Florida’s (and the nation’s) first schools and hospitals; the schism of the St. Augustine’s Church Wardens in the 1820s and 1830s; the arrival of Florida’s first bishop, Augustine Verot, in 1858, and beyond. illustrated with maps and rare old sketches and photographs.Collection
