They even offered their villages to the conquerors, who readily entered, appropriating all they found to their own use. How strange a country ! how strange a people ! Among the mountains, deserts, and ravines, roved the bear, the wolf, and the cougar, in untamed ferocity ; here, too, were found a nation whose reputed wealth first enticed the stranger ; but whose knowledge of art, purity of manners, and compara- tively cultivated condition of society, induced even the cruel and avaricious Spania...rd to pause and ask " Whence are ye?" This peculiar nation attracts the consideration of the scholar and of the curious at the present day. Its history is veiled by a darkness more visible from the dim halo of light that time has left. There is a mystery that the philosopher may endeavor to unravel. The civilization could not have come from the north, the south, the east, or the west. It must have been planted with the birth of the nation, growing with its growth, strength- ening with its strength, striking with astonishment the first Europeans that witnessed it, and existing, though perhaps in a diminished degree, in our own time.
