Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Art of War and Mode of Warfare of the Ancient Mexicans
It is equally untrue that any Mexican garrisons were main tained among conquered and subjected tribes. The military power of the Mexicans was preserved at home, in a latent state, so to say, but still, as we shall hereafter see, ready to sally forth at a signal from the council of, chiefs directing their affairs. But this presupposed, on the part of the tribe, systematic training, proper armament, and a peculiar organization.
At an early age the boy was taught the use of the bow and ar row in fishing and hunting 18 also the use of the dart or javelin. The chase, both on land and water, was an introduction to the stern duty of war.
