The logo for Lesson 6 is Hernán Cortés


We who pushed on ahead along the causeway reached the town of Tacuba, where we found Cortés and the other captains, Gonzalo de Sandoval and Cristóbal de Olid and the others on horse who had gone on ahead. They were crying out to Cortés: "Sir captain, listen to us, because they say we are fleeing and we are leaving our friends behind to die on the bridges. Let us go back to see if we can protect those who have stayed and have not come out". Cortés' answer was that it was a miracle that any had gotten out. But he decided later to go back to the bridges with the horses and the ones who were not wounded.
