 Hernando de Soto's American Conquest
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.
DeSoto's accounts were eventually dismissed by French and English pioneers, given the tremendous short-term changes in the North America he visited.
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.
