FOOTNOTES:
[1] The names of these captains, many of whom were afterwards
distinguished, were as follows: Juan Velasquez de Leon, Pedro de
Alvarado, Hernandez Portocarrero, Francisco de Montejo, Christoval de
Olid, Juan de Escalante, Francisco de Morla, Francisco Salcedo, Juan
Escobar, and Gnies Gnortes. Cortes himself had charge of one of the
companies.
[2] Robertson says, the beginning of April--Bernal Diaz says, the 21st.
[3] Clavigero’s Mexico.
[4] This piece was very massive, nor could it be less than ten
thousand sequins in real value.--Clavigero’s Mexico.
[5] The rich town of the True Cross.
[6] Cortes was very particular just at this time in punishing any of
his followers who trespassed upon the rights of the natives. It is
said that he even carried his discipline so far, as to order one of
his men to be hanged for stealing some fowls in a peaceable territory,
and the poor fellow would have lost his life but for the efforts of
Alvarado.
