Hernando de Soto, as a Spanish explorer and conquistador, was involved in the subjugation of Nicaragua, the Yucatan and Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire. Afterwards he led the first European expedition into the southeastern part of the modern-day United States. De Soto's North American expedition was a vast undertaking in search of gold and a passage to China or the Pacific coast. After much plunder, pillage and deaths among every Indian tribe they encountered, De Soto failed in his quest and died in 1542 on the banks of the Mississippi River and his body was buried in the muddy currents. This book "Expedition Of Hernando De Soto" chronicles chilling historical details not found in school history books.
