This book introduces the history of the Taino Indians. Columbus came to Puerto Rico on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. There he found the Taino Indians, who mistakenly showed him the local abundance and wealth. Their fate was doomed ever since. The Taino Indians were not a laborious race to begin with. But after Puerto Rico was established as a colonial stronghold, they survived poverty, plagues and hurricanes on their own.
