Whoever they were and wherever they came from, they were doubtless
driven southward by the invading tribes of the north. They nobly
fought their way, contesting every foot, until superior numbers took
them by force. Thus these quiet and inoffensive creatures were finally
expelled from their home which doubtless their fathers had occupied
through centuries. If any escaped they, no doubt, found an asylum
southward, where there were other tribes equally civilized, and,
forming an union with them or conquered by them, they began a higher
and better civilization as seen in Mexico and Peru.
