Cortes

Hernán Cortés -- an unpleasant conquistador -- hated the Mexican Hairless, and attempted to eradicate the breed.

Cortés was very fond of play, both at cards and dice, and while playing he was very affable and good-humored.

He accompanied Grijalva to Mexico in the following year, and finally enlisted under the banner of Cortés.

Cortés easily entered the City of Mexico, and forced Montezuma to resign.

Like stout Cortés, silent upon his peak in Darien, he surveyed the Pacific of his dreams.

Cortés, with great skill, worked up the zeal of his soldiers to the fury of a religious crusade.
