Rene Goulaine de Laudonnière (ca. 1529–1574) survived and wrote this French account of the destruction of French Fort Caroline in 1565, which includes the first European images of indigenous Americans. After the Spaniards had won, they attached notes to the victims saying that they had not killed Frenchmen, but heretics. When the French had the opportunity to return the “favor,” three years later, they left notes on Spanish corpses that said, “not as Spaniards, but as assassins.”
