If you havent read “The DeSoto Chronicles” then I would urge you to do so. I have the 2 volume set. It’s a compilation from several authors of DeSoto’s expedition thru the southern US.

In addition, there is “The LaSalle Expedition To Texas.”
The first-hand account of Henri Joutel.

Both great reads in the same genre as Bernal’s.

Sounds good. I read a short book about Coronado's expedition, but I do not know if there are first person accounts readily available.

Do you know of any?

Who is the author for the DeSoto Chronicles? My searches are not finding the book.
