You have Berlandier and Teran confused with the french deserter Jean Gery and the Spanish Governor Alonzo de Leon. Berlandier expedition w/Teran = 1835, Gery guides De Leon to the ruins of FSL in 1690.....

Berlandier's report; faunal, flora, and demographic has been translated to English. Smithsonian offered it back about 25 or so years ago.....

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
