  From 1539 to 1542, Hernando de Soto and several hundred armed men cut a path of destruction and disease across the Southeast, from Florida to the Mississippi River. This book investigates the broad cultural and literary aspects of the resulting social and demographic collapse or radical transformation of many Native societies.
