This bold discoverer, DeSoto, was born in Spain in 1496, and with his adventurous and warlike soldiers, after explorations of the coasts of Gautemala and Yucatan, and later through Peru, where he became famous and rich through his prowess and heroism, he returned to Spain with a fortune. After his marriage to the accomplished Donna Isabella Bobadilla he, after a second expedition, led by Pamfilo de Narvaez, which provedunfruitful and disastrous, sailed from Spain in 1538, and finally anchored at Tampa Bay, Florida.

DeSoto and his veteran followers were the first white men to tread the soil of Mississippi. They entered the territory of Mississippi forty-five years before the English landed in North Carolina, in 1585; sixty-seven years before the first settlement was made in Jamestown, Va., in 1607; eighty years before the Pilgrims of the Mayflower made their first landing at Plymouth...
