Ride The Trace – Looking For Hernando’s Trail

Here is a pull out on the Natchez Trace Parkway for Hernando de Soto.  I rode through West Point and Starkville, MS before I arrived.  Hernando de Soto was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who led the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States, and the first documented to have crossed the Mississippi River.  Click on Hernando de Soto if you would like more.

Here is the map of his exploits while in the America’s.
