When Worlds Collided

Following Columbus’s voyages, the Spanish crown sanctioned expeditions to explore North America. Numerous voyages undertaken between 1513-1559 were informed by maps and navigation information provided by royal cosmographers. Early attempts failed, doomed by storms, bad decisions, and opposition by the native population. Dr. Jerald T. Milanich charts these expeditions in order to reconstruct the social geography of the region referred to as La Florida.

This program is presented by The National Arts Club.
