To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Aztec tribe as an organism in embryo had but one head a sachem or cacique, a civil leader. In him, seemingly, were combined dual elements the Above or Masculine element, and the Below or Feminine. With expansion and conflict came a need of differentiation of attributes, and there arose the war leader or Chief-of-Men. The dis- tinctively Masculine element was now embodied in him; the Feminine being reserved to his asso- ciate, who henceforth bore the title to many so puzzling of "Snake Woman.... " In the days of the Spanish Conquest the Snake Woman, though often alluded to, makes no particular figure. The three overshadowing figures are Chief s-of -Men CORTES AND MEXICO Montezuma, Cuitlahuatzin, and Quauhtemotzin. Of these Montezuma is reflective and weak; the other two, his successors, decisive and strong. Just here, however, our account of Mexico- Tenochtitlan must cease, for at the South Cause- way, bowing, stands Cortes. He has come with some four hundred men, fifteen horses, and seven light guns.
