Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda c. 1536 after 1575, dates uncertain was a Spain Spanish shipwreck survivor who lived among the Native Americans in the United States Indians of Florida for 17 years. His memoir, written in 1575, is one of the most valuable contemporary accounts of American Indian life from that period. Around 1549, when Fontaneda was thirteen, he and his brother were sailing to school in Salamanca , Spain when their ship wrecked on the coast of Florida, possibly during a hurricane . The crew and passengers were rescued by the Calusa , who enslaved them and eventually human sacrifice sacrificed everyone besides Fontaneda the boy apparently escaped death by correctly interpreting their commands to sing and dance for them. He spent the next seventeen years living among the Calusa and other tribes, learning several languages and travelling extensively through Florida. Around 1566 Fontaneda was rescued from his captivity by Pedro Men ndez de Avil s , Florida s first Spanish governor and founder of St. Augustine, Florida St. Augustine , who bargained for his freedom from King Carlos . An alternate claim is that Fontaneda was rescued by the Huguenots of Fort Caroline in 1565, and reunited with the Spanish when they took over the fort. He served as an interpreter and guide for Men ndez on a number of missions for the next several years, and returned to Spain in 1569 to reclaim his parents property from the Crown. In 1575 he wrote his memoir, which proved valuable to historians of the day such as Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas , and remains so today. Fontaneda provides the city of Tampa s earliest written mention. He names 22 important villages of the Calusa, the first being Tanpa . He gives no details concerning the exact location of Tanpa, but the connection with modern Tampa known to have indigenous origins is considered unlikely. The Memoir also proved instrumental in the development of the Fountain of Youth legend as an early mention of Juan Ponce de Le ... more details
