Fifty Indians also fellstruck by the bullets of the invaders. De Soto allowed himself only ina war of self-defence. He strictly prohibited his followers from doingany injury to the villages or the property of the natives, or ofengaging in the slightest act of violence towards any who were not inactive hostility against them. After twenty days of such repose as could be found in this warharassed camp, De Soto resumed his march. He directed the steps of hisarmy in a northeasterly direction toward...s a town called Ocali, aboutsixty miles from their encampment. It seems that in most, if not allof this region, the chief and his principal town bore the same name. The path of the army led just over a dreary expanse of desert sands, about thirty miles broad. There was no underbrush, and over the smoothsurface both men and horses could travel with the greatest ease. Theythen entered upon a beautiful region of fertility and luxuriance. Fields of corn waved their graceful leaves and bannered heads in thebreeze.
