notes:
Native Americans of Guiana celebrated with drinking and some of the guests would be painted all over with a sticky tree resin. Gold dust was then blown onto their skin. This practice led to Walter Raleigh's hearing about "El Dorado," and is the origin of the legend. This work contains relations of six different voyages: three by Sir Francis Drake, one circumnavigation by Thomas Cavendish (or Candish), and two by Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana. An account of Drake's first voyage, written by Niño de Sylva, had not previously been published. The account of Drake's second voyage is based upon the account of the circumnavigation by Thomas Cates. Drake's third voyage is derived from his logbook of the expedition against the Spanish in Panama. Cavendish's voyage appears to have been based upon a manuscript account written by Thomas Pretty who accompanied Cavendish. Raleigh's first voyage was published by himself in 1597; the second voyage, attributed to Raleigh, may have actually been made by Laurent Keymis, a companion on Raleigh's voyage of 1595. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 8. German.
