Spanish Exploration and Conquest of Native America Written by Donald E. Sheppard Illustrated by Cheryl Lucente The Natives by STATE Translations Acknowledgements and References This Site describes the 15 year Conquest of Native America. Cabeza de Vaca's eight years in North America, starting in 1528, set the stage for Coronado and Hernando de Soto to lead armies deep into America in the 1540's: Coronado from Mexico City and DeSoto from Cuba, Spain's "Ellis Island." Vaca was the first European to describe this continent , but only near its southern shoreline. DeSoto, at age 39, was rich from Incan gold and wanted to colonize North America. To do so, he planned to open a passage to trade Spain's New World fortunes with China , the largest supermarket in the world. Intelligent Indians had told Vaca of a northern sea that DeSoto believed was the Pacific Ocean, the sea Balboa discovered beyond Panama, DeSoto's boyhood home. Magellan had sailed that sea to the Orient when DeSoto was 21 years old, but lost his life on that long voyage. DeSoto wanted to build a port on America's Northern Sea , then sail what he believed was a short distance across it to China. He planned to protect his "Northern Passage to China" from Mobile Bay, Alabama, which

Spanish Conquistadors wrote the oldest histories we have of America, but told a different story than the one we learned in school. Advances in science have made it possible to track Conquistadors into native villages that are cities again today, along trails we use as highways. Scant archaeological evidence once provided scholars grounds for "definitive" conquest route selection, but their evidence is very thin, and, if anything, their findings only add to the confusion surrounding Spanish Conquest (Brain 1985:xvi-xxiii; Bullen 1951, 1952 - See References for titles of authors' works appearing here). Scholars have, for centuries, misinterpreted sixteenth century terms, neglected American resource location, and overlooked important tactics of ancient mariners and horsemen altogether.

Significant Explorers and Civilizations of the Americas A WebQuest for 5th Grade (Social Studies) Designed by Patty James pmjames@burke.k12.nc.us Introduction Task Process Evaluation ... Credits Introduction Beginning with the Vikings in the 8th century, the Americas have been explored by many people. During the 1500's and 1600's European countries began exploring across the Atlantic Ocean. Christopher Columbus was one of the first explorers to attempt this great feat. His accomplishments sparked the interest of exploration in many other countries. Explorers have had various reasons for risking their lives when setting out across the world. Marco Polo was searching for new trade routes, David Livingstone traveled across Africa as a missionary, while others were motivated by the need to chart and map new areas. In this webquest, you will find out what drove the exploration for these significant explorers and how did the motives for explorations differ from country to country? The Task You will work in your assigned group to search the Internet and use print materials to identify what drove the exploration of your explorers. During your search you will be looking for certain aspects of his exploration. Once you have obtained these aspects, you will be able to complete the following:

DeSoto's Background by Donald E. Sheppard THIS PRESENTATION The study of DeSoto's conquest is inseparable from that of Panphilo de Narvaez. Both were Spanish conquistadors who are known to have entered and exited Florida near the same locations, within a dozen years of each other. Narvaez failed utterly. DeSoto followed and partially succeeded here. DeSoto's army became aware of native aversion to Spaniards, provoked by Narvaez and coastal slave hunters, shortly after landing. Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca provides us with the only extant Narrative of the Narvaez Expedition , which was poorly executed and scantily recorded. DeSoto's chroniclers, who wrote their perceptions of Narvaez and described the place where he built his boats for escape, are relied upon here for additional intelligence of his "conquest." Once DeSoto marched to North Florida and established his winter quarters, he dispatched his "Thirty Lancers" to ride back down his trail to advance the troops and ships left behind at port. The Lancer's journal, questionably understood but factually related by Inca, is used here to establish distances between places which the chroniclers failed to record in their personal journals when they blazed that trail. Inca's account of the Thirty Lancers journey will, therefore, be discussed, at times, before we discuss DeSoto's arrival in North Florida. I know of no other way to substantiate this incredible journey as it unfolds. DESOTO'S PRECEDING CONQUESTS As a young Spaniard in Central America

Trailing Desoto - Then and Now Project Overview This online thematic project provides classes an opportunity to conduct research in order to compare and contrast the world Hernando DeSoto saw in the 1500s to our world today. From the geographic data in DeSoto's journals and in Spanish writings of his time, researchers in 1996 were able to locate his trails as the harbors and mountains, rivers, and lakes "then" remain "now." Students in this project will use this information, located at http://www.floridahistory.com/ , as the main information source to develop their comparisons. However, students should also use other online as well as print sources for additional and comparative facts. Project Summary History books and classroom lessons tell of Hernando De Soto's efforts to colonize North America and his search for the Pacific Ocean as a northern passage through the New World to trade Spain's fortunes with China. His chronicles tell of his travels through the lands of what would become 14 states of the United States, including the six southeastern states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. In the study of U.S. history, students record Desoto as just one more fact to learn, totally unrelated to the world of today. Yet, if DeSoto were to retrace his path today, what would he see? How different is the land, the occupants, or the means of travel?

THE SOTO EXPEDITION Hernando de Soto, the son of an esquire of Xerez de Badajoz, was eager to rival Cortes and Pizarro. In 1537 he solicited the same grant as Narvaez before him, for the province from Rio de Las Palmas to Florida. Along with the province Valladolid, the King awarded Soto an appointment to govern the island of Cuba. This accession required him to personally conquer and occupy Florida within a year at his own expense. He was to erect fortresses and carry over at least five hundred men as settlers to hold the country. The division of the gold, pearls, and other valuables of the conquered caciques (chiefs) were to be regulated, and provision made for the maintenance of the Christian religion and of a hospital in the territory. The air of divine mystery that was assumed by Cabeza de Vaca concerning the countries that he had seen inflamed the imagination of men in Spain. Hernando de Soto, picture and signature, (from Winsor). This 1536 period map may have been available to Soto prior to his exploration. Note that the interior was still unknown territory.

Hernando DeSoto In the city of Barcarroto, Spain around 1500, DeSoto was born. Today he is known to many as the Greatest Spanish explorer of all time. DeSoto's father's name was Xerez de Badajox. Both of his parents were born of noble birth, but were very poor. Hernando wanted more than that. At the young age of 19 he ventured off to seek his fortune in the mysterious New World. Hernando was a eager young man looking for what every warrior wanted, money and a name everyone knew. He fought and traveled with Pedrarias de Avila for about 20 years. Next de Soto explored the West Indies and South America after reaching the new world. When he came to his home in Spain he was pleased to marry the Governor Davila's daughter, Dona Isabel. His marriage wasn't too important to him because soon after the marriage he decided to return to the New World. (This is a picture of a boat with triangular sails. These sails helped ships make it possible to sail against the wind. It was not simple to sail without it. (A picture of Hernando landing on the Bay of the Holy Spirit) With De Soto's own expenses he prepared his expedition in 1537 to explore the Spanish region of Florida. Holy Roman Empire, Charles V gave permission to set sail for his voyage. In May 1539, Hernando's crew of slaves, friars, shoemakers, servants, 600 conquistadors and at least two women set sail on nine ships heading to Florida. He landed on the west coast of On Hernando's voyage he discovered the Mississippi River in 1541. He crossed it then he explored the lands that are now northern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Four years later De Soto's crew had suffered disease, starvation and snakebite. Nearly half of his crew made it back to Mexico. From illness on the Mississippi banks near where the of Red River joins, DeSoto died.

EARLY EXPLORATION Vikings Marco Polo Crusaders WORLD EXPLORATION Magellan Dias Balboa AMERICAN EXPLORATION Columbus Cortes Pizarro MISCELLANEOUS EXPLORATION Vespucci Hudson DeSoto Cabot VIKINGS (By David Lara) The Vikings were bold seafaring people from Scandanavia. Between 700 and 1000, their population grew steadily and food was scarce. This caused the Vikings to turn their long boats west in search of new lands. In the mid-800s, they settled in Iceland. From there, the Vikings pushed even farther west. In 982, a red-haired, great bearded explorer named Eric the Red sailed to an island he called Greenland. Actually Greenland had more ice and harsher climate than Iceland, but Eric hoped the pleasant-sounding name of Greenland would attract farmers. In 1001, Eric's son, Lief Ericsson set sail to investigate reports of yet another new land. Lief's crew sailed west and south. In time, they came to a place where wheat and grapes grew wild. Lief named it Vinland or Wineland. Viking sagas, or stories of brave deeds, described Vinland as a mild plentiful land. According to sagas, Lief returned to Greenland, but one of his friends, Thorfinn Karlsefni (KAHRL sehf ne), decided to build a settlement in Vinland. He took a group of about 150 settlers with him.

The Age of Exploration in Georgia Georgia History 101 by Col. Samuel Taylor U.S.M.C. (Ret.) exclusively for Our Georgia History Although Portuguese sailors may have visited the New World as early as 1454, it is Christopher Columbus, an Italian sailing under a Spanish flag, who is generally credited with the first landing in North America. The initial thrust of the Spanish sailors was into the Caribbean, continuing the search for a route to the West Indies. It became apparent that no quick route would be found and the thrust of the Spanish flag vessels became exploration and conquest. 1513 brought Juan Poncé de León to the Florida coast. Moving north from Florida, Spanish exploration may have touched the present-day Georgia coast before 1520. In 1526 an attempt was made to establish a colony on the coast of Georgia or South Carolina by Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon. Although the exact location is unknown, historians now believe it is more likely to have been in Georgia, perhaps in the vicinity of St. Catherine's Island. Hernando deSoto became one of the earliest Europeans to see the state (1540), leaving a path of destruction in his wake. The Moundbuilder culture, already in decline, would cease to exist in Georgia by 1560, when Tristan de Luna revisited the area of deSoto's initial expedition. Juan Pardo reported a similar finding in 1566. Pardo had been sent to the interior of Georgia by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, who established a colony and Jesuit Mission on San Pedro (St. Catherines) near the Creek town of Guale (pronounced Wah-le) earlier that year.

17. Conquest Of The Land His voyage to the new world was doubted, mostly because only copies of a grant in1523, based on the 1521 exploration by Gordillo Journey of hernando desoto. http://www.ourgeorgiahistory.com/early/conquest_of_the_land.html

Conquest of the Land John Cabot explores the American Coast Earliest of the claims to Georgia dates back to 1498, when Italian explorer John Cabot (Giovanni Cabotto), sailing under the English flag explored coastal America. Cabot made two trips to coastal America (well, actually one and a half since he never returned from the second trip), one in 1497 where he discovered a place he called Newfoundland, and one in 1498 when he returned to "Newfoundland" and continued south along the coast of what is now the United States. The best support for the English claim of "rights of discovery" to the Southeastern coast of the United States comes from, interestingly, a Spanish map that was drawn a few years after his voyage. Juan de la Cosa owned the Santa Maria, and as such, joined Christopher Columbus (an Italian sailing under a Spanish flag) on two of his early voyages. On those journeys Columbus' efforts were directed at island hopping through the Caribbean and not exploration of the Atlantic coast. Still, de la Cosa accurately depicted the Caribbean, which he knew, and the Atlantic side of North America, which he could not have known, on a map dated 1500, but probably drawn over a period of about 10 years early in the 16th century. Additionally, five English flags (royal standards) are drawn on the map, and a notation "discovered by the English."
