	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Hernando de Soto in Georgia
		When De Soto and his army approached the capital town, the chief of Coosa was carried out on a palanquin borne upon the shoulders of his retainers, while other retainers walked along singing and playing flutes.
		On August 20, 1540, De Soto and his army departed from the main town of Coosa and traveled to the south, crossing the Etowah River at the town of Itaba—the Etowah Mound site—and proceeding on to the chiefdom of Ulibahali at present-day Rome.
		Three historical markers commemorate Hernando de Soto in Georgia: at the Carters Lake visitor's center near Ellijay, along the Riverwalk in Augusta, and at the tourism office in Milledgeville.

	Hernando de Soto
		More than anything, de Soto wanted to be like his fellow Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, who had enriched himself ravishing the Aztec capital at Mexico City in 1521, and Francisco Pizarro, who through treachery and barbarism had robbed the riches of the Peruvian Incas just seven years earlier, in 1532.
		However, the main riches de Soto and his army would find as they marched north through Florida, and then for the next three years wandered through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas -- was a rich mosaic of Indian cultures.
		The army crossed the river and continued wandering, de Soto died farther downriver in 1542, and the remnants of de Soto's army never found gold.
