Hans Staden

Hans Staden (c. 1525 – c. 1576) was a German soldier and explorer who voyaged to South America in the middle of the sixteenth century, where he was captured by the Tupinambá people of Brazil. He managed to survive and return safe to Europe. In his widely read ''True History: An Account of Cannibal Captivity in Brazil'', he claimed that the native people that held him captive practiced cannibalism. Provided by Wikipedia
