Columbus's Journal--1492
(This entry illustrates Columbus's encounter with American
Indians)
| | . . .
in order that they would be friendly to us--because I recognized that they were people who would be
better freed and converted to our Holy Faith by love than by force--to some of them I gave red caps,
and glass beads which they put on their chests, and many other things of small value, in which they
took so much pleasure and became so much our friends that it was a marvel. Later they came swimming
to the ships’ launches where we were and brought us parrots and cotton thread in balls and
javelins and many other things, and they traded them to us for other things which we gave them, such
as small glass beads and bells. In sum, they took everything and gave of what they had very
willingly. But it seemed to me that they were a people very poor in everything. . . .Their javelins
are shafts without iron and some of them have at the end a fish tooth. . . .All of them alike are of
good sized stature and carry themselves well. I saw some who had marks of wounds on their bodies and
I made signs to them asking what they were; and they showed me how people from other islands nearby
came there and tried to take them, and how they defended themselves. | |
