notes:
When Chorera, said to be in Cuba, was ransacked by the French, they were unable to find any thing of value, so they captured some of the Spanish and held them for ransom. The French set fire to the town and escaped with whatever goods of value they could carry. This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the second part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 5. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
