PUBLICATIONS:

IMAGES:

Shrine of Father San Vitores is borrowed from the Guam Visitors Bureau website, Guam's Natural, Cultural and Historic Sites Online.

Map of Guam ca. 1700 is likely the one produced by French priest, Charles Le Gobien. It is borrowed from The Official Guam U.S.A Website page on Chief Hurao. This is a good place to read Chief Hurao's speech, as recorded by Le Gobien:
