notes:
|
The text describes how the natives swim to islands for an excursion carrying their children, provisions for a picnic, and weapons at the ready to defend themselves if enemies attack. They attach their quivers to their hair to keep them dry. This work was published by Theodor de Bry from manuscript notes and drawings made by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, an illustrator and explorer, who sailed with René de Laudonnière on the 1564 Huguenot expedition to Florida. Laudonnière set up Fort Caroline on the St. John's River in 1564, but the settlement was destroyed by the Spanish army under Pedro Menendez de Aviles. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 2. German.
