You heard it
Hernando de Soto (/də ˈsoʊtoʊ/;[4] Spanish: [eɾˈnando ðe ˈsoto]; c. 1500 – 21 May 1542) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who was involved in expeditions in Nicaragua and the Yucatan Peninsula. He played an important role in Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru, but is best known for leading the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States (through Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and most likely Arkansas). He is the first European documented as having crossed the Mississippi River.[5] De Soto's North American expedition was a vast undertaking. It ranged throughout what is now the southeastern United States, both searching for gold, which had been reported by various Native American tribes and earlier coastal explorers, and for a passage to China or the Pacific coast. De Soto died in 1542 on the banks of the Mississippi River;[6] different sources disagree on the exact location, whether it was what is now Lake Village, Arkansas, or Ferriday, Louisiana.
here first… "Project X."
That's going to be
Elon's next big move. And while most people have no idea what's coming…
I expect "Project X" is about to take the media by storm just days from now. It has nothing to do with electric vehicles, SpaceX, or even hyperloop.
Hernando de Soto was born circa 1500 in Extremadura, Spain, to parents who were both hidalgos, nobility of modest means. The region was poor and many people struggled to survive; young people looked for ways to seek their fortune elsewhere. He was born in the current province of Badajoz.[1]: 135 Three towns—Badajoz, Barcarrota and Jerez de los Caballeros—claim to be his birthplace. He spent time as a child at each place. He stipulated in his will that his body be interred at Jerez de los Caballeros, where other members of his family were buried.[7] A few years before his birth, the Kingdoms of Castille and Aragon conquered the last Islamic kingdom of the Iberian peninsula. Spain and Portugal were filled with young men seeking a chance for military fame after the defeat of the Moors. With Christopher Columbus's discovery of new lands (which he thought to be East Asia) across the ocean to the west, young men were attracted to rumors of adventure, glory and wealth.

De Soto sailed to the New World with Pedro Arias Dávila, appointed as the first Governor of Panama. In 1520 he participated in Gaspar de Espinosa's expedition to Veragua, and in 1524, he participated in the conquest of Nicaragua under Francisco Hernández de Córdoba. There he acquired an encomienda and a public office in León, Nicaragua.[1]: 135 Brave leadership, unwavering loyalty, and ruthless schemes for the extortion of native villages for their captured chiefs became de Soto's hallmarks during the conquest of Central America. He gained fame as an excellent horseman, fighter, and tactician. During that time, de Soto was influenced by the achievements of Iberian explorers: Juan Ponce de León, the first European to reach Florida; Vasco Núñez de Balboa, the first European to reach the Pacific Ocean coast of the Americas (he called it the "South Sea" on the south coast of Panama); and Ferdinand Magellan, who first sailed that ocean to East Asia. In 1530, de Soto became a regidor of León, Nicaragua. He led an expedition up the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula searching for a passage between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to enable trade with the Orient, the richest market in the world. Failing that, and without means to explore further, de Soto, upon Pedro Arias Dávila's death, left his estates in Nicaragua. Bringing his own men on ships which he hired, de Soto joined Francisco Pizarro at his first base of Tumbes shortly before departure for the interior of present-day Peru.[8]: 143 Spanish colonization of the Americas Antique map of the Americas History Inter caeteraPacific NorthwestStrait of MagellanCaliforniaInca Empire ChileColombia ChibchaMuiscaFloridaTexasAztec EmpireMaya ChiapasGuatemalaPeténYucatánEl SalvadorHondurasNicaragua People Christopher ColumbusAlonso de OjedaDiego de AlmagroPedro de AlvaradoBernal Díaz del CastilloDiego Velázquez de CuéllarGonzalo Jiménez de QuesadaSebastián de BelalcázarFrancisco Vázquez de CoronadoHernán CortésLuis de Carvajal y CuevaBartolomé de las CasasHernán Pérez de QuesadaJuan Ponce de LeónFrancisco de MontejoPánfilo de NarváezJuan de OñateFrancisco de OrellanaPedro de PortocarreroFrancisco PizarroHernando de SotoPedro de ValdiviaNikolaus FedermannInés de SuárezPedro de CandiaJuan PardoTristán de Luna y ArellanoVasco Núñez de BalboaÁlvar Núñez Cabeza de VacaAmerigo VespucciJuan de la Cosa Related EncomiendaIndian auxiliariesSpanish missions in the Americas vte Pizarro quickly made de Soto one of his captains.
