In Spanish language countries, the first surname is the main surname, so Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda should not be quoted as "Fontaneda" but as "Escalante".-- 213.96.18.161 22:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this article says that it was a King Juan Carlos of the Calusa who held him captive:
Which raises another issue; there are no citations or references in this article other than to the translation of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda's own memoir. I read somewhere that his memoirs did not relate who rescued him, and there's some dispute on this issue. Ileanadu ( talk) 03:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
I had a conversation with a reader today, at User talk:31.54.34.170. I had always gathered from what I saw in secondary sources that Escalante Fonteneda gave essentially no details about his personal life in his writings. Having looked at the Buckingham Smith translation, I see he did provide some details about his life. I'm trying to get hold of a secondary source that covers this information. In the meantime, does anyone have access to such a secondary source? - Donald Albury 21:59, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
