Hernando de Soto embarked on his expedition to the Americas in 1539 with a contingent of approximately 600 men. This group included soldiers, explorers, and support personnel, reflecting the scale of his ambitious quest to explore the southeastern regions of what is now the United States. Over the course of the expedition, the number of men dwindled due to various hardships, including conflict with Indigenous peoples and disease.
