A model of clarity and lightly worn erudition, and it contains the best and most straightforward description of the four Columbus voyages and their implications for the Amerindians I have seen.--Kenneth Maxwell, New York Times Book Review
As Rouse discusses the Tainos' contributions to the Spaniards--from Indian corn, tobacco, and rubber balls to art, artifacts, and new words--we realize that their effect on Western civilization, brief through their contact, was an important and lasting one.
