Introduction
Of the two sea voyages, which Hans Staden undertook in nine and a half years. The first expedition to the New World, America, left from Portugal; the second left from Spain
How Hans Staden served as an arquebusier in the country of the savage people called the Toppinikin, who are subject to the King of Portugal, fighting against the enemy. How he was finally captured and carried off by the enemy, and was under constant threat of being killed and devoured by them for nine and a half months
Furthermore, how God after this year among the savages delivered this captive in merciful and wonderful manner, and how he returned home to his beloved fatherland.
