A portion of the party left their ships, and marched into the interior, reaching a region which they called Apalache, probably in what is now Alabama. Then they were driven back to the seashore, amid great hardships, losing one-third of their number before they reached Aute, now the Bay of St. Mark's. Near this they came to the sea; and here the narrative begins.] It was a piteous and painful thing to witness the perple

the most part, the coast, it was more than fifty days before the men, who finally escaped, now no more than three hundred and eleven in number, on the tenth of September entered Sept. 10. the River Panuco. On Soto's expedition, by far the best account is that of the Portuguese Eye-witness, first published in 1557, and by Hakluyt, in English, in 1609. In the history of Vega, numbers and distances are magnified, and every thing embellished; it must be consulted with extreme caution. Buckingham Smith, in his Coleccion para la Historia de la Florida, has published the original in Spanish of the report of Luis Hernandez de Biedma, of which there is a French translation in Ternaux-Compans, XX. 81. Of books published in America, compare Belknap, in Am. Biog. i. 185—195; McCulloh, Researches, Appendix, III. 523—531; Nuttall, in his Travels in Arkansas, Appendix, 247—267; Pickett's History of Alabama; and T. Irving's Conquest of Florida.
