notes:
Text describes the poncho as being used by the natives of Peru before their subjugation by the Spanish and made of woven wool, cotton, or flattened straw interwoven in a warp of thread.This book was meant to be an extract of the reports of Father Manuel Sobreviela (who explored the Huallaga River from 1787 to 1790) and Narciso Girbal y Barcelo (who explored the Marañon and Ucayali rivers in 1791), which appeared in El Mercurio peruano, a newspaper begun in Lima in 1791. However, the compiler was unfamiliar with Spanish and the translation is suspect.
