Historical notes:
|
During a battle between natives led by Guarionex, a Taino cacique, and the Spanish, the natives attempted to burn the first cross that Columbus erected on Hispaniola. It failed to catch fire and the Spanish hailed this as a miracle of the Virgin of Mercy. Guacanagari, one of the five caciques of Hispaniola, received Columbus after the Santa Maria was wrecked on the island. The Spanish who remained at La Navidad after Columbus left for Spain were massacred by rival tribes a few months later.
