Abstract:
This article looks at early Spanish exploration and claims to lands on the Atlantic coast including what would become North Carolina. Particular attention is given to Pedro Menendez de Aviles' expedition to the Atlantic Coast on behalf of Spain in 1566 to secure Spanish land claims as well as de Aviles' misconceptions about the geography of the coast and of North America. Appendix I includes extracts from the Register of Diego de Camargo, recorder of the expedition. Appendix II is a translation of a letter of Antonio de Abalia to the Council of Indies.
