This is an excerpt from a journal kept by one of the men in de Soto’s party. Here, the explorer discusses his impressions of the Savannah River region. The country was delightful and fertile, having good interval lands upon the streams; the forest was open, with abundance of walnut and mulberry trees. . . .

To all it appeared well to make a settlement there . . . [It] is a good country, and one fit in which to raise supplies; but Soto, as it was his object to find another treasure like that of Atabalipa, lord of Peru, would not be content with good lands nor pearls, even though many of them were worth their weight in gold.
