THE NATIVE VILLAGE THAT HID HERNANDO DE SOTO’S FIRST CAMP IN AMERICA
WHY THE SPANISH NEEDED GUIDES
The expedition carried maps only in a very limited sense.
European knowledge of the interior Southeast was incomplete.
The Spanish depended on Native guides to navigate.
A guide knew where a trail went.
A guide knew where food could be found.
A guide knew which river crossing was dangerous.
A guide might know the location of a rival community.
