      abstract = {"Spanish-led entradas--expeditions bent on the exploration  and control of new territories--took place throughout the  sixteenth century in what is now the southern United  States. Although their impact was profound, both locally  and globally, detailed analyses of these encounters are  notably scarce. Focusing on several major themes--social,  economic, political, military, environmental, and  demographic--the contributions gathered here explore not  only the cultures and peoples involved in these unique  engagements but also the wider connections and disparities  between these borderlands and the colonial world in general  during the first century of Native-European contact in  North America. Bringing together research from both the  southwestern and southeastern United States, this book  offers a comparative synthesis of Native-European contacts  and their consequences in both regions. The chapters also  engage at different scales of analysis, from locally based  research to macro-level evaluations, using documentary,  paleoclimatic, and regional archaeological data."--Book  jacket.},
