A Spanish Experience Read the quotation from “Relation of the Conquest of Florida.” Then, answer the question. What does the quotation reveal? The land is swampy but has a lot of food. The land is completely uninhabited. The land is undesirable. “There are many towns in this Province of Apalache, and it is a land abundant in subsistence….We marched five days through an uninhabited country, when, coming to a great river,… we made a [boat]. With this we reached the opposite shore, where we found a Province called Acapachiqui, very abundant in the food to which the Indians are accustomed. We saw some towns, and others there were we did not visit, because the country was one of very large swamps.” –from “Relation of the Conquest of Florida” 1544
