Pedro Men�ndez de Avil�s (1519-1574) founded St. Augustine in 1565. His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Sol�s de Mer�s, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America's oldest city. Until recently, the only extant version of Sol�s de Mer�s's record was one single manuscript which Eugenio Ruid�az y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruid�az's text. In 2012 David Arbes� discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document. In the resulting volume, Pedro Men�ndez de Avil�s and the Conquest of Florida, Arbes� sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine's founding. By consulting the original chronicle, Arbes� provides readers with the definitive bilingual edition of this seminal text.
