To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dinner hour of the third day was the time fixed upon for striking the blow. As Vitachuco would be dining with the Governor, and the Indians in general attending upon their re spective masters, the Cacique was to watch his opportunity, spring upon De Soto and kill him ; giving, at the moment of assault, a war-whoop that should resound throughout the village. This was to be the signal for every Indian in the place to grapple with his master, or any other Spaniard, and despatch him on the spot....
Many of the poor natives saw the perfect madness of this second project ; but, accus tomed to yield implicit obedience to their chief, they promised to carry it into execution or perish in the attempt.
CONQUEST OF FLORIDA. 145 On the day fixed, Vitachuco dined as usual at the table of the Governor, who sought to win his friendship by the kindest attentions. When the repast was concluded, the savage stretched himself upon the bench on which he had been seated, and twisting his body from side to side, projected first one arm, then the other, to its full extent, clenching his fists, and drawing them up so that they rested on his shoulders ; he then jerked out his arms two or three times, until every joint cracked liked a snapped reed.
