De Soto National Memorial part 1

On a swelteringly hot day in May 1539, Spaniard Hernando de Soto splashed ashore at Tampa Bay intent on capturing the riches of La Florida by any means necessary. His army was alternately welcomed and opposed by Native American tribes throughout what is now the Southeastern United States in a four year, four thousand mile odyssey of intrigue, warfare, disease, and discovery.

it is this adventure by Desoto that is the cause of the the first wave of massive depopulation though diseases, of east coast tribal groups prior to 1622. if Desoto had not come north, then the Puritans would have had a very differant reception!
