Hernando was in search of gold but he never found it. One day he discovered the Mississippi River. Soon after he became sick and died. Hernando's 600 men did not want the Indians to know their leader had died. [Because Hernando had forced the red men to give his men food and work for them.] So they threw Hernando's body into the river.
