Applying the legend of the ""stranger king"" to Caonabo, the mythologized Taino chief of the Hispaniola settlement Columbus invaded in 1492, this book examines how myths come to resonate as history - created by the chaotic interactions of the individuals who lived the events of the past as well as those who write and read about them.
