A Voyage Long and Strange: On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, L
ost Colonists, and other Adventurers in Early America by Tony Horwitz "Kent acknowledged that this passion for close-range killing made the Spaniards 'unpleasant people,' at least by our standards. As a soldier though, he admired their endurance and discipline."
p. 243
The book is absolutely fascinating. Obscure history made real is really one of my very favorite things.
