A Spaniard said the Tawasa chief was a scoundrel
A Spanish letter of 1686 refers to the tribe in one place as "Tauasa," whose chief was " a very great scoundrel," in another as Tabara, the last evidently a misprint.8 It is impossible to tell from this letter whether the tribe was where De Soto found it or not.
