THE NATIVE VILLAGE THAT HID HERNANDO DE SOTO’S FIRST CAMP IN AMERICA
De Soto’s expedition lasted years.
It crossed enormous portions of the Southeast before ending with de Soto’s death in 1542.
The journey passed through what are now several states.
The army encountered many Native communities.
It experienced battles, disease, shortages, floods, political negotiations, and constant movement.
The search for wealth failed.
But the consequences did not.
The expedition created an early record of the interior Southeast from a European perspective.
