	Who is Hernando de Soto?
		De Soto was of gentle birth; of known pre-eminence as a soldier; wise in council; prudent in action; brave to rashness in conflict, and his reputation was without blemish.
		He received De Soto with haughty courtesy; and when the governor ordered one of his largest pack-horses to be brought for the use of the giant chief-tain, the latter mounted with sullenness and evident reluctance.
		The daring of De Soto, who was everywhere in the battle, had already compelled the Indians to take a permanent position within the walls of Manbila; and the priests, who on their knees had uttered copious prayers for victory for the Castilians, now sang the joyous Te Deum.
