Hernando de Soto was a Spanish explorer and conquistador known for his expedition in the southeastern United States in the 1530s. He is often credited with being the first European to explore regions such as Florida, the Mississippi River, and parts of the American South. His journeys were marked by encounters with various Native American tribes, and he sought gold and riches, leading to significant cultural exchanges and conflicts. De Soto's expeditions ultimately contributed to European knowledge of the North American interior.
