Claim: The author of this document was Spanish, rather than American.
What evidence supports this claim?

B. At nine days march, I reached some plains, so vast that I did not find their limit anywhere that I went.
C. There was not a stone, nor a bit of rising ground, nor a tree, nor a shrub.
D. And may our Lord protect Your Majesty, with increase of greater kingdoms and powers. From this province, 20 October, in the year 1541.

Answer

D. The phrase "And may our Lord protect Your Majesty, with increase of greater kingdoms and powers. From this province, 20 October, in the year 1541." suggests that the author was addressing a monarch, which supports the claim that the author was Spanish, as it was common for Spanish explorers to report back to the Spanish crown.
