While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Guale. The Indian name by which the Spaniards knew the
present Amelia id. N. coast of Florida, and a part of the adjacent Florida and
Georgia coast, in the 16th century. There is strong probability that the tribe
in occupancy was that known later as Yamasi. In 1597 the son of the chief of
Guale led a revolt against the missions that had been established by the Spanish
Franciscans a few years before. There were then on the island at least 3 mission
villages Asao, Asopo, and Ospo. The missions were reestablished in 1605 and may
have continued until their destruction by the English and their Indian allies in
1704-06. (J.M)
Guaxule. A village, apparently of the Creeks, visited
by De Soto in 1540. Coxe seems to locate it near the head of Mobile r.; Shipp
places it on the Chattahoochee, and Thomas (12th Rep. B. A. E., 649, 1894)
near Cartersville, in Bartow co., Ga. The Spaniards were entertained so well at
this place that to the army its name became a synonym for good fortune. See
Etowah mound.
