Apalache refugees declined a Spanish bribe not to defect to French Alabama
Farther on we learn that the Spanish governor had offered the chiefs of the Apalachee and Chatot very considerable presents to return to Florida, but they refused,1 stating that the French protected them better. This was written July 28, 1706, which tends to confirm Penicaut's statement that the removal occurred toward the end of 1705.2 He adds that Bienville furnished them with corn with which to plant their first crop.
