Hernando De Soto crossed the Mississippi River for the first time near present-day Memphis, Tennessee, in May 1541. His expedition marked a significant moment in the exploration of the southeastern United States as he sought riches and new territories. This crossing was part of his broader journey through the region, which included interactions with various Native American tribes.
