Abstract
"Carpenter and Protestant lay minister Nicolas Le Challeux documented his experiences in Florida in Discours de l’histoire de la florite contenant la trahison del Espangnols, contre les sujects du Roy (1579). Along with the chronicle of his journey, he also wrote two poems, one of which wittily warns future travelers about less-than-appealing prospects in a now 'lost colony.' As many Frenchmen were starving during their time in the New World, Le Challeux eerily named his octet, 'Hungry.'”
