Abstract

At the end of XVII century, the Spanish Crown was worried about keeping the sovereignty and the commerce in the Mexican Gulf against the United States settlers. Bernardo de Gálvez projected a cartographic expedition from Tampico to Florida managed by José de Hevia. This work analyzes this little known expedition that happened in 1783-1786.
