A_Goodman Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Part III ‘Clash with the Tabascans’ Cortés and his expedition left Cozumel, and by late March his armada anchored off of the coast of the Tabascan settlement of Pontonchan. Cortés took a group of small oared boats up the Tabasco River into the thick mangrove swamps. Hidden in the lush jungle lining the river were, seemingly, countless Tabascan Warriors armed with bows and spears. The warriors rushed the Spanish boats forcing the Conquistadors to fight back in waist deep water. Cortés lost a boot on his way ashore, but he managed to continue fighting and directing his troops. The Spanish organized once on land and managed to repel the waves of Tabascan Warriors until they finally retreated back into the overgrown jungle.

Cousarmy0001 Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Little known historical fact: Peace with the Tabascans was attained when they began supplying the Spanish with large amounts of a strange red liquid that makes even the worst food palatable and just the right level of spicy... Quote
