About the Book

For God, Glory, and Gold chronicles the pivotal three decades from 1513 to 1543, marking the establishment of the United States' first European colony, the inaugural inland exploration of North America, an epic of survival unmatched in American history, and the two most extensive expeditions ever to traverse the continent. This book presents a focused and compelling narrative that vividly resurrects the past in a clear and engaging way. Meticulously researched, it offers a fresh perspective on the bold ventures of Juan Ponce de León, Pánfilo de Narváez, Hernando de Soto, and Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, who delved into the heartlands of the Southeast and Southwest in pursuit of wealth and renown. For God, Glory, and Gold showcases rare early 16th-century maps, meticulously scanned, enlarged, and brought to life in vibrant color. The author skillfully intertwines historical chronicles, vivid depictions, and these extraordinary cartographic gems, transporting readers back to an era of audacious exploration and cultural collision. The narrative vividly depicts the hardships and often tragic aftermaths of Spain's initial expeditions to explore and settle in North America. With its blend of concise, engaging storytelling and exquisite visual aids, For God, Glory, and Gold is a must-have for those interested in the early Spanish exploration and settlement of what would later become the United States.

About the Author :
Jim MacDougald is a Florida researcher and historian. His years of study led to the 2018 publication, The Pánfilo de Narváez Expedition of 1528. Upon its completion, MacDougald continued his research, and after acquiring very rare maps, he wrote The Maps That Change Florida's History, published in 2021. At the urging of Florida Humanities, MacDougald wrote For God, Glory, and Gold to tell the story of the early Spanish expeditions to Florida and the mainland in a succinct and easily digestible format. MacDougald resides in St. Petersburg, Florida and Beaver Creek, Colorado, with his equanimous wife, Suzanne.
