It seems amazing that the passage of Hernando de Soto and his small army across the Southeast in 1539 to 1540 left so many clear traces, but archaeologists have now documented what seems to be the third site where De Soto and his men must have visited. This one is an Indian village near McRae, Georgia. The other two are the camp where De Soto spent the winter of 1539 to 1540, near Tallahassee, and a small fort in western North Carolina.
