Pigs and De Soto Tour Across Early America
A fanciful recounting details a herd of 700 hogs that accompanied Hernando de Soto on his 16th century expedition from Florida to the Mississippi, with vivid notes on hardships, encounters with Indigenous peoples, and the journey ending near Tampico after years of travel and battles. It also shifts to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, describing his self taught architecture, the mansion’s Doric exterior and Ionic interior, and clever slave aided layouts guiding daily tasks without disturbing guests.
