The book also provides insight into the political and social climate of the time, including the rivalry between Spain and France for control of the region. Through vivid descriptions and historical documentation, Abbott paints a fascinating portrait of De Soto and his quest for discovery, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of North America.1876.
