	History - Hernando DeSoto in DeKalb County, Alabama 888-805-4740
		DeSoto had heard rumors of gold to be found in the hills and valleys of Lookout Mountain.
		DeSoto’s historian makes a note of their experience by saying "They came to this place and found no gold, an area of lofty hills and stupendous rocks".
		There is no historical evidence that any one in DeSoto’s expedition ever went further west in north Alabama than the vista overlook at Buck’s State Park, or that any of them ever caught a view of the mighty Tennessee River.

	Hernando de Soto's American Conquest
		DeSoto's people sighted this continent in May, 1539, at a port first discovered by Ponce de Leon, one of Columbus' captains.
		DeSoto brought tons of supplies - cannon, gun powder, cross bows, shields, lances, armor, helmets, blood hounds, seeds, nails, axes, saws and pigs - to start a Spanish colony somewhere near the Great River, preferably at a place much like Mexico City, with plenty of gold and silver to plunder.
		But DeSoto actually did port at the best possible place he could to preserve his horses from the ravages of a long sea passage from Havana to the Great River, and he did follow Indian trails between Indian villages most of the time he was here.
