Hernando De Soto: Trailblazer of the American Southeast (Library of Explorers and Exploration)

By Jan Goldberg

Book Overview

As a young boy, de Soto dreamed of exploring the world around him. This book tells the story of his life, in particular his expeditions in Florida and the rest of the Southeastern United States. Although he probably died thinking himself a failure, it is thanks to de Soto's expeditions that Spain continued to explore the New World and establish colonies in Spain's name.
