ABSTRACT
In this war, Diego de Salazar rescued the son of Pietro Xuarez, a boy of sixteen, from the cazique Amamon, when he was surrounded by 300 Indians at a festival. Salazar attacked them singly, and
wounded the cazique; who, astonished at the bravery of the attempt, sent Salazar four slaves and other valuables, and requested leave to take his name, and be his friend. Salazar's name became proverbial for gallantry among the Indians.
