Wampum by Ashbel Woodward is a paper presented to a rare book society in Philadelphia studying the local Native Americans. Excerpt: "When Columbus, on his second voyage to the New World, landed upon Cape Cabron, Cuba, the cacique of the adjacent country meeting him upon the shore offered him a string of beads made of the hard parts of shells as an assurance of welcome. Similar gifts were often made to the great discoverer, whenever the natives sought to win his favor or wished to assure him of their own goodwill. These shell beads were afterwards found to be in general use among the tribes of the Atlantic coast."
