Discovering AlabamaExplorers called America the “New
World”.
Christopher Columbus discovered the “New World” first in 1492, but they didn’t name it after him.
After an explorer, named Amerigo Vespucci, discovered it in 1499, cartographers, or map makers, named it America in his honor.
Use your Forecasting #1
Talent to think of
reasons why they
would call it the
New World.

Amerigo
discover the
“New World”?
The SpanishAlonzo de PinedaWas a conquistador, or a

The Spanish in Alabama
The Spanish were mean to the Indians and the Indians were forced to be their servants.

Horses were new sights for the Indians and they were afraid of the horses
The Spanish came to the “New World” in search of gold and silver.
They found it in Mexico and South America, but not in Alabama.
We know all this information because of the journals of Hernando de Soto from his expedition.
Alabama’s history begins with de Soto’s journals…

Hernando de SotoThe Spanish Governor of Cuba
He organized a large group of men and boats to explore La Florida.
He brought many things
with him including pigs.
Ortiz could speak Indian languages so he became de Soto’s interpreter.
16
What state do you
think “La Florida” is?
Why wouldde Soto need
an interpreter?
Hernando de Soto
Juan de Ortiz
When de Soto arrived in Florida, he saved Juan de
Ortiz. (Remember him from earlier?)
Use your Productive Thinking Talent to generate m, v, u, items you would bring with you to explore the New World.
Hernando de SotoDe Soto’s trip across the
Southeast is called the entrada, or entrance.
17
Why do you
think it’s called
the “entrance”?
What states did

through?
What do
you call
this
symbol?
Mobile!
What do you think de Soto was looking for?
He was looking for gold and silver.
What states did he travel through?
He never found it. But he did find pearls!
Hernando de Soto Marches OnDe Soto was not
discouraged!
He kept on exploring until he met Chief Tuskaloosa.
Chief Tuskaloosa’s name meant “Black Warrior” in Choctaw.
Chief Tuskaloosa was tall and well built.
When de Soto met Tuskaloosa the chief was sitting on high cushions.
18
Hmm, does that name sound familiar to you?
Do you
know
the
name of
the river
named
after
him?
He was wearing a cloak of feathers that reached down to his feet.
An Indian stood behind him waving a fan of plumes.
Chief Tuskaloosa
and de Soto Meet

Using your Productive
Thinking Talent generate
M, V, U, adjectives to
describe Chief Tuskaloosa.
De Soto vs. TuskaloosaDe Soto wanted some
Indians to carry his provisions, or supplies.
Tuskaloosa said, “No way!” and de Soto took him hostage.
Chief Tuskaloosa changed his mind and told de Soto that he would help him if he came to his village of Maubila.

Predict what you think will happen next.
Maubila VillageMaubila was surrounded
by a high wall made of tree poles. The Spanish called this a palisade.
Well, Chief Tuskaloosa had a trick up
his sleeve.
He went inside a house and refused to
come out. Suddenly, the Indians started
to sing and dance loudly and then they
attacked the Spanish.
Let’s use our Productive
Thinking Talent to design
an Indian village with a
palisade.
The Indians Attack!
The Indian arrows and spears could not pierce the Spanish armor.
Archaeologists have never been able to find the village of Maubila.
De Soto lost 42 men in this war and the pearls he found on his expedition.
During the fight Chief
Tuskaloosa disappeared
and they never found his
body…
Battle of MaubilaThe Spanish were badly injured so they
stayed in Maubila to heal and bury their dead.
When they got better they continued on their expedition… but, bad news was ahead.
23
Battle of MaubilaDe Soto became ill and
died. They buried him in the Mississippi River so that the Indians wouldn’t find his body.
24
The Spanish made the Indians believe he was immortal, or could not be killed.
What does that
red line
represent on
the map?
Don Tristan de LunaDon Tristan de Luna landed in Mobile Bay
looking for all that de Soto had found.
He was unsuccessful. His boats were sank by a hurricane and the Indians didn’t welcome him and his men.
25
Don Tristan de LunaWhen the Spanish came,
they also brought devastating, or badly hurting, diseases.
The Indians didn’t have any immunity to the diseases, like measles, mumps, small pox, and tuberculosis.
26
Thousands of Indians fell ill and died. Whole villages disappeared.
