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

#1 Columbus brought pigs from Cuba to Florida, and they may have been descendants of the pigs Queen Isabella had enjoined him 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, and 132 soldiers and civilians were killed. The Spanish suffered no losses.

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

#4 On October 11, the remaining French survivors, including Captain Jean Ribault, straggled north to the same inlet. They were met by Menéndez and told that the rest of their countrymen had been killed. 134 more French prisoners were ferried across the inlet and executed.
