His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Solís de Merás, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America's oldest city. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUntil recently, the only extant version of Solís de Merás's record was one single manuscript that Eugenio Ruidíaz y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruidíaz's text. In 2012, David Arbesú discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the resulting volume, \u003ci\u003ePedro Menéndez de Avilés and the Conquest of Florida\u003c\/i\u003e, Arbesú sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine's founding.
