Notes to myself

Thomson: indebted for info on Tainos (183), extremely little known (183). Quote: The Relacion de Fray Ramon is not only our most authentic description of the life and customs of the Antillean indigenes but must also be recognized as the first essay in the field of American anthropology more generally' (183).
