		De Soto traveled into the present-day region of Columbia, South Carolina and marched north to the area around Tryon, N.C. De Soto began getting information from his advance parties that tribes were indicating a wealth of gold in the region of the great mountains to the west.
		De Soto dispatched a small party of men to the region who later returned and told him the mines’ metal was in fact copper and another yellow metal that wasn’t gold.
		Following De Soto’s expedition, which often brutalized the tribes, many were wiped out by European diseases and surviving residents scattered to the safety of the wilderness to avoid catching the diseases thwarting the growth and survival of many landmark villages.

		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.

		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.
