The narrative traces De Soto's 16th century march from Panama City toward Cofitachequi near Columbia, guided by Perico. It notes a hostage queen, pearls, and immense wealth as motives, a nine day trek in rain, and the expedition's depopulating diseases. The piece highlights the only detailed records of Indigenous peoples and maps the expedition across the Southeast before De Soto’s death in the Mississippi.
