“POSTSCRIPT.—In the second chapter I allude to Stout Cortez - TopicsExpress



          

“POSTSCRIPT.—In the second chapter I allude to Stout Cortez staring at the Pacific. Shortly after the appearance of this narrative in serial form in America, I received an anonymous letter containing the words, You big stiff, it wasnt Cortez, it was Balboa. This, I believe, is historically accurate. On the other hand, if Cortez was good enough for Keats, he is good enough for me. Besides, even if it was Balboa, the Pacific was open for being stared at about that time, and I see no reason why Cortez should not have had a look at it as well.” From the Foreword to The Clicking of Cuthbert (Cootaboot to any Russians in this group!!)
