To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One whole hour we spent deliberating whether or not we should take Montezuma prisoner, and how the deed was to be done. At last we came to full con- clusion, and Cortes gave his consent. All that fol- 176 The Mastering of Mexico lowing night we spent in prayer, asking the Al- mighty's support in our holy cause.
The next morning two Tlaxcalans secretly got into our quarters and brought from Vera Cruz a letter announcing that Juan de Escalante, whom, we said some chapters back, * we had left behi...nd as governor of Vera Cruz, six other Spaniards, and all the Totonacs in his company had met death in a battle with Mexican warriors. So also a horse. The story went that Mexican caciques had demanded tribute; our allies, the Totonacs, had refused to pay it; Escalante had commanded the Mexicans to leave the Totonacs in peace; to which the Mexicans had sent a contemptuous answer. Engagements fol- lowed, and in our defeat our allies turned against us and refused to bring food or serve the garrison.
