Example text

The chiefs' remarks during the 1657 visitation indicate that soldiers had been present for many years, although not continuously. They apparently remained in or near Apalachee for most of the time until 1651, when the interim governor, Pedro Benedit Horruytiner, withdrew them at the insistence of the friars, who claimed that the soldiers were a hindrance to the progress of their work. When the Apalachee revolted in 1647, the soldiers appear to have been stationed at Governor Ruíz de Salazar's wheat farm between Ivitachuco and Asile.

In fact, the Spaniards, leaving the insurgents in control of the province, returned to St. Augustine believing that additional forces would have to be recruited in Cuba. They speculated that a number of expeditions might be necessary to bring the region back under control and that a permanent garrison of 30 to 40 soldiers might be needed to maintain calm once it had been restored. At the time of the uprising, Francisco Menéndez Marquez, one of the royal officials who had been governing Florida in lieu of the suspended Governor Ruíz de Salazar, was in Guale to deal with the unrest that disturbed that province also.

As the friars began an intensive effort in 1608 to Christianize all of western Timucua, he saw that region's long-standing war with Great Apalachee, as he described it, as an obstacle to the progress of their work. Despite some initial opposition to the project from the head chief of the Utina, he resolved to try to end the war. Fray Prieto dispatched two Apalachee prisoners held by the Timucua at Page 11 Cotocochuni to Apalachee ahead of him to inform its people that he was coming on a mission of peace.
