In 1565, a Spanish fleet commanded by Pedro Menendez de Avila moves to dislodge a French settlement in Spanish Florida. The expedition results in the founding of the city of St. Augustine, and the slaughter of the French, under Jean Ribault, at Matanzas Inlet. Told from the point of view of Juan Gonzales, a Spanish government scrivener, drafted into service by Menendez, River of Dolphins is an historically accurate account of these events, brought to life through vivid characterizations and relationships, especially that between Gonzales and a young Frenchman the Spanish capture.
