A relative of FL's governor foreclosed on soldiers' houses
When Juan Garcia, backed by his kinsman the governor, foreclosed on the pitiful shacks of soldiers and charged them collection costs (decimas y costas), Accountant Arguelles shook his head in disapproval. Such severity was something new in Florida, which in 1598 was a land as yet without sustenance or productivity. [Note 59: Bartolome de Arguelles 8/3/1598; Juan Nunez de los Rios 1/19/1600]
