Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hernando De Soto Among all pioneers in the exploitation of the New World, whether Spaniard or Frenchman or Briton, Hernando De Soto has left his impress upon the annals of more of its countries than any other who could be named. Cortez is connected solely with the story of Mexico; Pizarro is famed only for his venturesome deeds in Darien and Peru; the name of La Salle is never mentioned save in connection with the exploration of the Mississippi Valley. De Soto is known, like Pizarro, in the history of Darien, or modern Panama. Like Pizarro, also, he is known prominently in connection with the Con quest of Peru. And the Peru of his day included not only Peru as we know it now, but also Ecuador, Bolivia and Chili - in fact, nearly all of the western portion of the South American continent. But, unlike Pizarro, his exploits do not end there. He is inseparably connected also with the history of the settlements of Nicaragua and Guatemala, and with the earliest explorations of Yucatan. At still another time he was Governor of Cuba, and as such he will live in her annals. After Ponce de Leon and Narvaez, he became the explorer of Florida.
