EDITORS COMMENTS
Hernando de Soto: The First European to Cross the Mississippi River (c. 1496/1497-1542) This engraving depicts Hernando de Soto, a pivotal figure in the early exploration and conquest of the Americas by Europeans. Born around 1496 or 1497 in Spain, de Soto embarked on an extraordinary journey that led him to become the first European documented to have crossed the mighty Mississippi River. De Soto's expedition, which began in 1539, aimed to discover new lands and riches for the Spanish Empire. He led a large force of over 600 men, including soldiers, priests, and laborers, on an extensive exploration of the southeastern United States. The expedition lasted for eight long years, during which they encountered numerous indigenous tribes, some of whom were friendly, while others were hostile. De Soto's armor, as depicted in this engraving, reflects the military might and determination of the Spanish conquistadors. His beard, a common feature among Spanish men of the time, adds to his regal and authoritative appearance. The sword at his side symbolizes the power and force that de Soto and his men brought with them as they explored and claimed new territories for Spain. This engraving, a testament to the rich history of the Americas, offers a glimpse into the modern age when Europeans first began to explore and conquer new lands. Hernando de Soto's legacy continues to shape our understanding of the history of the Americas and the complex interactions between Europeans and indigenous peoples during the colonial era.
