On May 30th, 1539, the recently appointed governor of Cuba,
Hernando de Soto, drops anchor in the bay of Tampa, Florida.
Armed with 250 conquistadors, he marches into the vine-covered swamps
of south central Florida. Through
snake-infested waters, and above jagged-shaped mountains, De Soto's journey nearly comes to a disastrous end
when he meets the seven-foot tall Choctaw Chief, Tuscaloosa
of western Alabama.
This is great reading for both young and old.
A face-off's coming,
and it's going to be ugly! Meet Tuscaloosa: A true
Choctaw Chief!
