The Captivity of Hans Stade of Hesse in A.D. 1547–1555, Among the Wild Tribes of Eastern Brazil

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This volume contains an English translation of Hans Stade's account of his captivity among the indigenous Tupinamba of Brazil in 1553-1554, with an editorial preface describing the area in 1866.
