Huertis and Hammond that the exploration of this city was the chief object of their perilous expedition, the Senor adds, that his enthusiasm became enkindled to at least as high a fervor as theirs, and that, with more precipitancy than prudence, in a man of his maturer years and important business pursuits, he resolved to unite in the enterprise, to aid the heroic young men with his experience in travel and knowledge of the wild Indians of the region referred to, and to see the end of the adventure, result as it may. But the most stimulating story of all, was the existence of a _living_ city, far on the other side of the great sierra, large and populous, occupied by Indians of the same character, and in precisely the same state, as those of the country in general, before the discovery of the continent and the desolating conquests of its invaders. keywords: account; america; ancient; antonio; armed; aztec; blood; cavern; central; character; chief; children; cities; city; company; country; course; cura; days; discovery; distance; distant; dogs; doubt; escape; expedition; faces; fate; feet; fine; fire; following; forest; friend; general; good; grave; great; gueguetenango; guides; hammond; hand; high; highest; horses; hounds; huertis; indians; information; interesting; iximaya; journal; journey; kind; knowledge; known; language; large; latitude; leagues; left; letter; life; like; little; living; long; longitude; man; memoir; men; messrs; military; mind; minutes; monuments; morning; mountains; mules; narrative; natives; new; night; north; number; numerous; o'clock; object; old; order; padre; pagan; party; peculiar; people; personal; place; plain; point; present; quiche; race; region; remote; retreat; return; rifles; ruins; salvador; san; senor; senor velasquez; sierra; small; spanish; spears; spot; states; stevens; strangers; strong; subject; summit; sun; temples; time; travellers; united; unknown; vaalpeor; valley; vast; velasquez; view; village; walls; way; white; work; world; years; young cache: 29388.txt plain text: 29388.txt item: #3 of 4 id: 32110 author: Richmond, Hiram Hoyt title: Montezuma: An Epic on the Origin and Fate of the Aztec Nation date: None words: 38149 flesch: 78 summary: God waits upon the effort to reply, And seeing human hands stretch out for aid, His stronger palm is soon upon them laid-- Our weakness is the signet he cannot deny.
