Produktbeschreibung

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Columbus brought pigs from Cuba to Florida, which may have been descendants of the pigs Queen Isabella had enjoined Columbus to take with him on his second voyage.

#2 In 1565, the Spanish attacked Fort Caroline, France's first settlement in the Americas, near present-day Jacksonville. They easily overwhelmed the small fort, killing 132 soldiers and civilians. The forty or so French survivors were forced to watch as Spanish soldiers flicked the eyeballs of the French dead with the points of their daggers.

#3 The ill-fated inhabitants of Fort Caroline were not Lutherans at all, but Huguenots, French Protestants who followed the teachings of John Calvin. They had built and settled Fort Caroline more than a year earlier.

#4 The French colony in Florida was eventually captured by the Spanish in 1565. The remaining French survivors were brought to the same inlet, where they were executed.
