Coronado’s most notable expedition was his search for the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, which he believed were located in the southwestern United States. He led an expedition of over 300 men, including Spanish conquistadors, Mexican Indians, and African slaves, from Mexico to the present-day southwestern United States.
Hernando de Soto 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.
De Soto's North American expedition was a vast undertaking. It ranged throughout what is now the southeastern United States, searching both 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.
He died May 21, 1542 at age 41.
Do either of them fight fires? Maybe have foam dropping aircraft?
If not, who cares?
I have a house there, too. Not excited by the idiots bringing up trivia in such a time as this.
darned
neither of those explorers had very long lives
I wonder if they were eaten by cannibals
