notes:
|
The Spanish easily took advantage of the Taino under the leadership of Agueybana. Agueybana, a cacique on Puerto Rico, welcomed Juan Ponce de Leon because he believed the Spaniards to be gods. In 1511, Agueybana's brother lured a Spaniard, Diego Salcedo, to a river and drowned him. His death was enough to convince the Tainos that the Spaniards were not invincible.See also Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 4, plate 5.This image follows the special title page for Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas, Aankomst van Jean d'Ezquebel ter Bevolking van Jamaica, door den Ammiraal Diego Kolumbus, Leiden, 1706. This collection of voyages consists of 127 parts, each having a special title page, separate pagination, and register. The voyages covering the period from 1246 to 1696 are arranged chronologically.
