Menendez: Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Captain General of the Ocean Sea

by Albert C. Manucy

Book Overview

Everyone knows of Columbus and Ponce de Leon, but the name of Menendez is not as familiar. Yet Pedro Menendez de Aviles might truly be called one of the founding fathers of America, for he was the founder of the nation's oldest city--St. Augustine.

This book is the first to be written about Menendez. It is based on scholarly research, but it is not just a work for the scholar. It was written for the education and enjoyment of any reader...

Pedro Menendez

This is a well writeen, thoroughly researched book on Pedro Menendez De Aviles, a Captain General for the Spanish Fleets, Governor of Cuba, Founder of Ft. St. Augustine and more. It mainly focuses on his Military career, especially focusing on Florida. A very good book
