Summary
First in Crane Hill's new American Stories series of biographies for young readers, this well-crafted tale by children's author Faye Gibbons recreates for the reader the adventurous life of the explorer who, in 1541, discovered the Mississippi River. From DeSoto's confrontation with Incan royalty at the age of 14 and his acquisition of great riches to his exploration of "La Florida" at the behest of the Spanish king, to his untimely death and burial in the Mississippi, the saga of the famous explorer's life will open readers' eyes to the history of the time and the exploits of the man who left his name on so many modern landmarks. Appropriate for library, classroom, and family study. Includes chronology, glossary, and index
