John E. Worth. The Timucuan Chiefdoms of Spanish Florida. Volume 2, Resistance and Destruction. (The Ripley P. Bullen Series.) Gainesville: University Press of Florida. 1998. Pp. xiv, 272. $49.95.

John E. Worth's study of the Timucuan chiefdoms is completed with the publication of his second volume. His first volume on the subject concerned Timucuan assimilation. The two volumes, published together in the Ripley P. Bullen Series by the Florida Museum of Natural History, provide a definitive history of the Timucuan chiefdoms from their pre-Columbian existence to their eighteenth-century extinction. 1

Worth's work is essential reading for students and scholars of borderlands and colonial Florida anthropology and history. His scholarship is superb, and he employs primary source materials unknown to previous researchers in the field. The author apparently has spent months, if not years, searching through Spanish archival legajos to find the necessary sources for his study of the Timucuan chiefdoms. The result of his research is a comprehensive and well-written account of not only the Timucuan chiefdoms but of Spain's systematic efforts to assimilate, control, and employ them. . . .
