Extractions: MANATEE In a search similar to Hernando de Soto's quest for riches in the New World, records and files are being combed to find a picture of the Spanish explorer's statue. Charles Fenwick, superintendent of the DeSoto National Memorial, has talked to historians and archivists in search of a photograph of the Hernando de Soto Catholic Memorial monument and now has reached out to the community. "I've been frustrated," Fenwick said. "I've gone to the Hernando de Soto Historical Society, the Diocese of Venice, the Eaton Room at the library and none had a photo in its collections." The portion of the monument made of stone is located on land next to the National Park, but the 8-foot-tall bronze statue of de Soto has been relocated to the South Florida Museum in downtown Bradenton because of vandalism.

At the end of the fifteenth century, thousands of daring adventurers would be crossing the ocean to conquer within a few centuries what had taken the Indians thousands to years to inhabit. This "Age of Exploration" was fostered by the development of maritime technology and the belief in an economic philosophy called mercantilism which decreed that a nation that was not self-sufficient will be dominated by its neighbors. At first, it was trade with the Middle East that determined this wealth, but with the discovery in 1492 for another hemisphere by Christopher Columbus, the need to travel west to the Americas became the focus. The conquistadors of Spain who ventured into the lands of the Indians were motivated by many forces. The discovery of gold in Mexico and Peru caused thousands of impoverished Spanish peasants to join the military. Under the rules of

The DeSoto Chronicles The King of Spain had given "Governor" Hernando DeSoto only four years to colonize and hold America from the Port of Havana, Cuba. DeSoto's long journey through America, searching for riches in order to entice more Spanish settlers to his new colony, was well documented in candid, personal diaries by members of his all volunteer "army." These first-hand accounts of Native America (as in the above quotation) were written by people caught up in something they had little understanding of and no control over. Their works , misunderstood for centuries, are the only spoils of Spain's "Conquest of America." Our land and Indians would never be the same again; theirs is the only account of what it was like when Europeans first sighted America's Indians.

Extractions: Legendary places in America Magellan goes around the globe During the early 1500's, Spanish explorers pushed across most of Central and South America. They unintentionally brought with them smallpox and other diseases that were unknown in the Americas. As a result, thousands of Native Americans, who had no resistance to these diseases, sickened and died from them. The Spanish explorers established colonies in the new lands. Royal officials, Roman Catholic priests, and settlers arrived soon after the explorers. The Indians typically were forced to work for the Spaniards. The Spaniards also brought sugar cane, wheat, and other new plants to the Americas, as well as horses, cattle, sheep, and other domestic animals. The Spaniards took back to Europe many plants that were unknown there, such as corn and potatoes. One of the most important Spanish expeditions in the New World was commanded by Hernando Cortes (kawr TEHZ), who left Cuba in 1519 with more than 600 men. He sailed to what is now the Mexican state of Yucatan, which was a center of Maya civilization. Cortes moved along the coast of Mexico and then inland to Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the capital of the Aztec empire. Along the way, he met an Indian woman named Malinche, whom the Spaniards called Dona Marina. Malinche, who knew both the Maya and the Aztec languages, served as an interpreter for Cortes.

Extractions: Spanish Explorers: In Search Of ? A WebQuest for 5th Grade Question l Background Information l Tasks l Resources l Activities l Assessment Question Why did the Spanish explorers risk their lives to explore new lands? Background Information The age of exploration was driven by a combination of many forces. European countries had a variety of political, religious, and economic reasons to explore new lands. Individual explorers often shared some of the same motives as the nations they represented but often they had their own reasons for exploring. The Spanish conquistadors were one group of explorers who sailed for Spain. They explored the Americas during the first half of the 1500's. It was during this time that the Spanish dominated the settlement of the Americas. Task Imagine you are a conquistador on a ship sailing to the New World during the 16th century. You have decided to tell the members of your crew all about your hopes and dreams for the upcoming seafaring adventure. You must choose one of the explorers in the table below to research.

Extractions: Our Vince is in 8 th grade. In the course of his education, he has been required to write the occasional essay. He dislikes such themes, but I am often attracted to them, and occasionally have a crack at one. I offer to let him turn in my essays under his name, but these days he merely looks at me glumly and says "You'll just get me another F." Nevertheless, when he told me that he had to pick an explorer and compose an essay of pristine concision and ravishing beauty, I could not resist. One thing I love is the challenge of the form itself of the middle-school essay: you say what you're going to say, then say it, then say you've said it. Like Emerson, like Montaigne, you proceed mechanically - topic sentence, body, conclusion - until it becomes a super-human educational achievement to pretend to pay attention. Perhaps because he thought he could pronounce the name, Vince chose Hernando de Soto. Here goes. My explorer is Hernando de Soto. The life of Hernando de Soto is an inspiration to us all. He is my role model, along with Tom of Blink 182. When I grow up I want to be just like Hernando de Soto. One thing we learned this semester in World History class is that our diverse and wondrous world has always been dominated by thieving, treacherous, vicious, pestilential, murderous bastards. But of all of history's great thieving, treacherous, vicious, pestilential, murderous bastards, there have been few bastards as thieving, treacherous, vicious, pestilential, or murderous as Hernando de Soto. Hernando de Soto makes today's crack dealers, school shooters, and gangster rappers look positively genial.

From 1539 to 1542, he led a large Spanish expedition through what is now the southern United States. His army landed in Florida and crossed about 10 present-day states. De Soto became known as a courageous explorer who helped conquer the New World for Spain. However, the era of exploration was marked by greed, intolerance, and cruelty. In their search for wealth, de Soto and his men tortured and brutally killed many Indians. Early expeditions. De Soto was born in the province of Extremadura in Spain. As a teen-ager, he sailed to the New World and began his career as an explorer in the tropical rain forests of Panama. De Soto served in expeditions to enslave Indians and to search for wealth. By the early 1530's, de Soto was known as an excellent soldier and horseman. He joined an expedition led by Francisco Pizarro, another Spanish explorer, against the empire of the Inca Indians in what is now Peru. After a short delay, the men began their journey in 1532 with a small army of 168 men. They reached the city of Cajamarca, where a huge Inca army, commanded by Emperor Atahualpa, was camped. Pizarro sent de Soto with a small troop of 15 cavalrymen to invite Atahualpa to meet with Pizarro. The Spaniards ambushed the Inca and captured their emperor. Although the Inca paid an enormous ransom for their emperor, the Spaniards executed him. De Soto helped Pizarro capture Cusco, the Inca's capital, in 1533.
