Patrick Acknowledgments THIS BOOK would not have been produced without the generous and able assistance of a number of persons. First, Luis Arana, who is a historian for the National Park Service, was of tremendous help, particularly in the preparation of the introduction. Audrey Broward, librarian for Jacksonville University , was of great help in this work, as she has been in all of my historical efforts. Salome Mandel ofParis contributed substantially in the research and discovered the death certificate of Laudonniere and his marriage contract. Finally, I express my gratitude to my father, the late Walter J. Bennett, who stimulated my interest in translating documents of historical interest to our country and assisted me in the first translating work I did in this field. CHARLES E. BENNETT vii ...
