Quotes
“…We gave them beads and hawkbells, and each of them
gave me an arrow, which is a pledge of friendship. They
told us by signs that they would return in the morning and
bring us something to eat, as at that time they had nothing.”
- Cabeza de Vaca
“He had….a rigidness towards those that were under his
command, which at last drew on him implacable hatred, ad
was the occasion of his death.” - Henri Joutel of La Salle
