Florida Story: Pedro Menéndez's Enterprise of Florida

This video and art within were created by graduate student, Chessy Ricca for USF's Florida Studies program.

Based off a book written by Eugene Lyon, I will summarize the nature of the Enterprise of Florida and discuss the contract signed by Pedro Menéndez and Spanish King Philip II on March 15, 1565. This project is part of a series called the Florida Stories created by students in the Florida Studies program at USF St. Pete. Artwork and voice done by Chessy Ricca Music compilation: unknown
