Used Book in Good Condition
I read Knights of Spain - Warriors of the Sun, and the spanish did not give a fuck about natives. Oftentimes they view native encounters merely as a means to get more food and to capture at least a handful to act as guides and porters. De Soto landed in Florida with a group of 600 people. 600 people traversed the south east. Granted their numbers dwindled over the sojourn.
After some time on their journey, the spanish wrote about encountering abandoned villages with barbacoa filled with corn. Word must have spread of the Spanish's ferocity and the native people would up and leave.
I strongly recommend that book. It's an incredible read and very accessible. It doesn't bog you down with historical jargon.
