notes:
In 1766, Commodore John Byron returned to London after circumnavigating the world. Word soon leaked out that the crew had discovered nine-foot tall Patagonian giants. Earlier explorers had also reported a race of giants in Patagonia. As early as the 1520s, Antonio Pigafetta had written of giants living in South America. Magellan, with whom Pigafetta sailed, gave the giants the name "Patagons" because of their big feet, thus naming the southern tip of South America. Volumes 1 and 2 (and perhaps vols. 3 and 4) of this series were edited by David Henry.
