Excerpt from Guide to Florida
It was whilst discussing the subject with his followers, and arguing as to the course to be pursued, that an Indian Cacique narrated to them a wonderful story; that, not many leagues away, towards the setting sun, there existed a land of great riches, and exceeding all others in beauty of scenery. But, what was most extraordinary, it possessed a mar vellons fountain, whose waters had the power to renew youth and give vigor to those who bathed in or drank them.
