Editorial Reviews

Gives readers a personal tour through time, tracing this history of the Florida Indians in a language accessible to everyone." — St. Petersburg Times
—St. Petersburg Times
"Florida Indians is Milanich at his friendly best, as he distills and summarizes decades of complex scholarship into a couple of hundred readable pages, much as he did in The Timucua last year." — Florida Times-Union
—Florida Times-Union
"Florida's Indians whets our curiosity and stimulates thought. . . . For anyone looking for a good survey of the Native Peoples of Florida this is an excellent overview." — Florida Frontier Gazette
—Florida Frontier Gazzette
"One needn't be a specialist to appreciate Florida's Indians, though it may be of most interest to teachers, journalists, students of high-school or college age, or others having an interest in Florida historical topics." — Stuart News
—Stuart News
"One would be hard-pressed to find a person more qualified to write a general account of the Florida Indians, and he has succeeded brilliantly in producing a readable and accessible book carefully grounded on solid scholarship. Milanich not only relates what is known and believed about the Florida Indians, but he shows how and why we know and think what we do. . . . A delightful, informative, and attractive book, and one that deserves and will doubtless earn a wide readership among scholars seeking an overview of the subject as well as curious general readers."— Sixteenth Century Journal
