... land, Herzog argues that territorial expansion was discontinuous; there was no “line or a front or even an amorphous area” (p. 42). Before colonization began, the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) attempted to delineate territory. During the union of the two crowns (1580–1640), expansion into the vast...

... centuries, the present volume really begins with the treaty of 1750, by which Spain and Portugal discarded the obsolete Tordesillas agree­ ment and re-defined their South American boundaries. This, the author feels, marks the emergence of Brazil in its present approximate geo­ graphical shape. During...

Fuson’s work is a self-described (p. xi) demythologizing life-and-times biography of Juan Ponce de León, with emphasis on his early life as well as his two voyages to La Florida (1513, 1521). Fuson’s principal sources are Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas’s account of the Florida voyages...
