Francisco de Montejo and ninety Spaniards slogged northward through swampland from Xel Há in 1527, hacking a path through dense brush, while disease and hunger stalked, while some men fell ill and died, while the natives remained invisible, who might easily have destroyed the invaders at a blow. They did not because the Maya's fear of horses, by the sound of it. (Robert Samuel Weddle, 1985: 166)
