Z Hernando De Soto Explorer and conqueror, born at Villanueva de la Serena, Badajoz, Spain , 1496 or 1500; died on the banks of the Mississippi the latter part of June, 1542. He was given the rank of captain of a troop of horsemen in 1516 by Pedrarias , set out from Panama with an expedition which explored Nicaragua and Honduras , conquering and colonizing the country as they proceeded. In 1532 he joined the expedition of Francisco Pizzaro starting from Panama for the conquest of Peru . Recognizing his importance, Pizzaro made de Soto second in command, though this caused some opposition from Pizzaro's brothers. In 1533 he was sent at the head of a small party to explore the highlands of Peru , and he discovered the great national road which led to the capital. Soon afterwards he was selected by Pizzaro as ambassador to visit the Inca Atahualpa, lord of Peru , and he was the first Spaniard who spoke with that chief. After the imprisonment of Atahualpa, de Soto became very friendly with him and visited him often in his confinement. De Soto played a prominent part in the engagements which completed the conquest of Peru , including the battle which resulted in the capture of Cuzco , the capital. Upon his return from an expedition, he learned that

Spain's New World dominion already extended across the West Indies and Central and South America, yet her foot hold was tenuous. Having few industries or resources at home to rely on, she was dependent on colonial commodities, both natural and human, to maintain her grasp in the Caribbean. The conquests of the Aztecs of Mexico (1519-21) and the Incas of Peru (1531-35) had opened fabulous veins of wealth. These conquests also alerted other European nations to the untapped profits across the Atlantic Ocean. To secure her position unquestionably, Spain sought to control all lands surrounding the Caribbean Basin. La Florida was important strategically was also a possible source of undiscovered gold and riches. Hernando de Soto was about 14 years old when he first sailed from Spain, probably in 1514, bound for a conquistador's life in the New World. Over the next 15 years, he participated in military actions against Indians and Spanish land poachers in modern-day Panama and Nicaragua, using his rewards to fund profitable private ventures. His valor during the conquest of the Incas of Peru earned him greater wealth, which he used to finance his expedition to La Florida. Hernando de Soto's agreement with Charles V of Spain was simple. He was to explore, exploit and colonize La Florida while bearing all costs. This would be the first major exploration of the interior of North America. In return, he would become Governor of Cuba and the new colony. De Soto and the Crown would divide the spoils. De Soto and his 622 soldiers arrived in Havana in June 1538. He filled the expedition's ranks with slave carriers, camp followers (including several women), artisans, priests, an engineer, 200 horses, a herd of pigs, and fierce fighting dogs for punishing Indians. Landing near Tampa Bay on May 30, 1539, he left a temporary colony of 100 men captained by Pedro Calderon and led his army inland.

DeSoto Caverns DeSoto Caverns are nestled between the lakes and Appalachian foothills of north Central Alabama. These caverns hold one of the most concentrated accumulations of onyx-marble stalagmites and stalactities found in the United States. DeSoto Caverns have a long and interesting history. By the late 17th century, when the Europeans began to penetrate what is now the Southeast United States, the dominant Indian population was the Creek tribe, so named by the Europeans because they built their villages along the large number of waterways in the area. By tribal tradition, the Creeks place the birthplace of the Creek Indian Nation at the cave near the Coosa River now known as DeSoto Caverns. In December of 1796, Benjamin Hawkins, a United States Agent among the Creeks appointed by George Washington, told of the magnificent beauty of the DeSoto Caverns in his report to Washington, making it the first officially reported cave in the United States. During the era of Prohibition, DeSoto Caverns were pressed into service as one of the area's speakeasies, where moonshine and gambling were available to those not too fastidious about adherence to the law. Because of the shootings and fights that erupted on a continuing basis, the caverns became known in the 1920s as "The Bloody Bucket," and Federal agents closed them down. Even when Prohibition was repealed, "The Bloody Bucket" was not reopened.

Hernando de Soto among the Apalachee The Archaeology of the First Winter Encampment by Charles R. Ewen and John H. Hann Order this Book now Features Search UPF home ... Contact us The book has three parts: historical background, archaeological excavations at the site, and a retranslation of the 16th-century narratives relating to the winter encampment. A prologue and epilogue fit the work into the wider context of the Contact Period. John Hann has retranslated the narratives of the De Soto expedition in Apalachee Provincewith startling results. Small liberties taken with the original translations presented a misleading picture of the Apalachee and their culture. These versions, coupled with evidence recovered from the winter site, give a new view of the impact of Europeans on the native inhabitants of La Florida. Of particular interest are the discovery, excavation, and preservation of the site. Showing how luck and timing are crucial factors in some important discoveries, Ewen and Hann describe the interaction of archaeologists with private developers, state and city government, and the public and the media. Although it contains information that will be useful to scholars, the book is written in a popular style that makes it accessible to general readers.
