Book Reviews of The Timucua (Peoples of America)
Book Review: An Excellent Study of a Vanished People
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, written by Dr. Jerald Milanich of the Florida Museum of Natural History, is the one of the best syntheses available for the general reader of a Native American culture which was destroyed nearly two and half centuries ago.
The Timucuan Indians, who occupied the territory that today is the northern third of peninsular Florida and southern Georgia, were one of the largest cultural groups in the Southeast at the time of European contact in 1513. Their culture was one of the oldest in the region as well; archaeological study of sites within Timucuan territory suggests that there was great continuity between historic Timucuan lifeways and ancestral cultures going back to the Archaic period, more than 4,000 years previously.
The Timucua were one of the first Native American groups encountered by European explorers, with the arrival of Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513, and the expeditions of Narvaez and De Soto. Not coincidentally, their culture was also one of the first to completely disappear, with all known Timucuan Indians gone by the late 1700's, victims of disease and the stresses of colonization.
This book is a wonderfully readable synthesis of all that is known historically and archaeologically of a remarkable, vanished people. I recommend it heartily to anyone with an interest in history, archaeology, or anthropology, whether general reader or specialist.
