In August 1739,
Quilate, a leading warrior from the town of Apalachicola, informed the Spanish commandant at Fort San Marcos in Apalache that "the English had gone with more than 100 Negroes to construct a fort; that these had risen up and killed all the English."(53) In fact, there had been no such uprising.(54) But
Quilate's report reflected the anxieties swirling through the towns of the Deep South Interior.
O desconsolo deve-se a que sao insubstituiveis num panorama cultural que reclama imperiosamente protagonistas do seu
quilate. E a tristeza porque, com eles, se foi parte significativa da minha vida--a juventude--, aquela em que eles me ajudaram, e muito, a construir o meu (pobre) jeito de estar no mundo.
