The History of Hernando de Soto and Florida: Or Record of the Events of Fifty-Six Years, from 1512 to 1568 is a book written by Barnard Shipp in 1881. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life and expeditions of Hernando de Soto, a Spanish explorer who led the first European expedition into the southeastern United States. Shipp's book covers the period from de Soto's arrival in Florida in 1539 to his death in 1542, as well as the subsequent expeditions of other Spanish explorers in the region. The book is based on primary sources, including de Soto's own writings and the accounts of other explorers and historians of the time. It provides a detailed description of the geography, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the region, as well as the interactions between the Spanish explorers and the native populations.
