Note [549 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
[549] Historians differ regarding the place where these Indians were captured. J. G. Kohl, in A History of the Discovery of the East Coast of North America, reprinted in Maine Historical Society Collections, series 2, i, p. 142, expresses the opinion that Cabot probably obtained them on some shore south of New York harbor. James S. Buckingham, in Canada, Nova Scotia, etc., pp. 168, 337; and Samuel G. Drake, in The History and Antiquities of Boston, i, p. 1, regard Newfoundland as the probable home of the savages.
