Detailed explanation-1: -Hernando de Soto is most famous for his exploration of North America. He led 600 men on a journey through what is now the southeastern United States. They were the first Europeans to explore most of this region. De Soto was sent by the King of Spain to explore and settle La Florida.
Detailed explanation-2: -After marching through Florida, De Soto’s group traveled northeast through Georgia and into South Carolina and North Carolina before turning west and southwest into parts of Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. On May 8, 1541, the expedition sighted the Mississippi River, then headed into Arkansas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hernando de Soto left Spain in April of 1538 to embark on his expedition of La Florida.
