[Bolton note: Gourgues was not by any means the last of the French intruders. An old document, dated in 1572, tells of a band of eighty-seven Frenchmen in the interior, apparently in the New Mexico region, in or before 1572. The authenticity of the old MS. has not been fully established. Bands of Frenchmen continued to harass the Florida coast for a long time.]
