Applying the legend of the "stranger king" to Caonabo, the mythologized Taino chief of the Hispaniola settlement Columbus invaded in 1492, Keegan 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.
