Hernando de Soto, famed Spanish explorer of the Americas in the Colonial Period, died in the year 1542 (on May 21st). His death was apparently caused by a fever of some kind, and he breathed his last somewhere in what is now known as Arkansas or Louisiana. (The precise place of his death is not clear from the historical records available.)
