[This map of Delisle, issued originally at Paris, is given in the Amsterdam (1707) edition of Garcilasso de la Vega’s _Histoire des Incas et de la conquête de la Floride_, vol. ii; cf. _Voyages au nord_, vol. v., and Delisle’s _Atlas nouveau_. The map is also reproduced in French’s _Historical Collections of Louisiana_, and Gravier’s _La Salle_ (1870). Other maps of the route are given by Rye, McCulloch, and Irving; by J. C. Brevoort in Smith’s _Narratives of Hernando de Soto_, and in Paul Chaix’ _Bassin du Mississipi au seizième siècle_. Besides the references already noted, the question of his route has been discussed, to a greater or less extent, in Charlevoix’ _Nouvelle France_; in Warden’s _Chronologie historique de l’Amérique_, where the views of the geographer Homann are cited; in Albert Gallatin’s “Synopsis of the Indian Tribes” in the _Archæologia Americana_, vol. ii.; in Nuttall’s _Travels in Arkansas_ (1819 and 1821); in Williams’s _Florida_ (New York, 1837); in McCulloch’s _Antiquarian Researches in America_ (Baltimore, 1829); in Schoolcraft’s _Indian Tribes_, vol. iii.; in Paul Chaix’ _Bassin du Mississipi au seizième siècle_; in J. W. Monette’s _Valley of the Mississippi_ (1846); in Pickett’s _Alabama_; in Gayarré’s _Louisiana_; in Martin’s _Louisiana_; in _Historical Magazine_, v. 8; in _Knickerbocker Magazine_, lxiii. 457; in _Sharpe’s Magazine_, xlii. 265; and in Lambert A. Wilmer’s _Life of De Soto_ (1858). Although Dr. Belknap in his _American Biography_ (1794, vol. i. p. 189), had sought to establish a few points of De Soto’s march, the earliest attempt to track his steps closely was made by Alexander Meek, in a paper published at Tuscaloosa in 1839 in _The Southron_, and reprinted as “The Pilgrimage of De Soto,” in his _Romantic Passages in Southwestern History_ (Mobile, 1857), p. 213. Irving, in the revised edition of his _Conquest of Florida_, depended largely upon the assistance of Fairbanks and Smith, and agrees mainly with Meek and Pickett. In his appendix he epitomizes the indications of the route according to Garcilasso and the Portuguese gentleman. Rye collates the statements of McCulloch and Monette regarding the route beyond the Mississippi, and infers that the identifying of the localities is almost impossible. Chaix (_Bassin du Mississipi_) also traces this part.—ED.]] [Illustration: ROUTE OF DE SOTO (_after Delisle_),—EASTERLY PART.] Jacques Lemoyne de Morgues, an artist accompanying Laudonnière, wrote some years later an account, and made maps and drawings, with notes describing them. De Bry made a visit to London in 1587 to see Lemoyne, who was then in Raleigh’s service; but Lemoyne resisted all persuasions to part with his papers.[993] After Lemoyne’s death De Bry bought them off his widow (1588), and published them in 1591, in the second part of his _Grands voyages_, as _Brevis narratio_.[994]
