Dr. Michael Francis, "Murder and Martyrdom in Spanish Florida"
Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm
Location: Amelia Island Museum of History
Description: Join us on September 27th as we open our brand new 500 years of Spanish Influence Exhibit with special guest Dr. Michael Francis. At 6 pm, Dr. Francis will present: Murder and Martyrdom in Spanish Florida: Don Juan and the Guale uprising of 1597. In the late fall of 1597, Guale Indians murdered five Franciscan friars stationed in their territory and razed their missions to the ground. This presentation explores the uprising and its aftermath, and aims to shed light on the complex nature of Spanish-Indian relations in early colonial Florida. After the lecture we will unveil the new exhibit. This program is free and open to the public. For more information contact Gray at 261-7378 ext 102, or gray@ameliamuseum.org"
