Memorial Trail Welcome! This short, accessible loop trail takes you around Shaw’s Point.

It passes through mangrove wetland and visits a unique upland pine/ hardwood hammock. At several points you can visit the sandy shoreline for views of Tampa Bay.

Shaw’s Point has witnessed thousands of years of human history. For most of that span, American Indian communities thrived here. More recent uses include commercial fishing, a trading post, a refuge for escaped slaves, and this national park.

The point is also a natural place: a lush coastal forest that’s home to hundreds of species. Watch for gopher tortoises in the uplands and fiddler crabs among the mangroves. Look for bald eagles soaring over the Manatee River, and dolphins swimming past the point.

Along the trail look for interpretive waysides. Some are marked with the imperial flag of Spain—these give highlights of the De Soto expedition and its aftermath. Others reveal stories of nature, culture, and history here at Shaw’s Point.

De Soto National Memorial This park encompasses 26 acres of forest, wetland, and beaches on Shaw’s Point, a nexus of nature and culture on the shore of Tampa Bay.

Things to do here at the park. Follow in De Soto’s footsteps.

Along the Nature Trail look for interpretive signs with the Spanish imperial flag: these tell stories from the Hernando de Soto expedition.

To view the stories in chronological order, go clockwise around the trail.

Stop in at the Visitor Center to plan your visit and explore the story of the park.

Walk the short, scenic Memorial Trail around Shaw’s Point.

Interpretive signs reveal stories of history, culture, and nature.

You Are Here

Walk inside the palisade surrounding the recreated Spanish military encampment (entrance behind you). It was built to resemble De Soto’s base camp at the Indian village of Uzita.

Continue your exploration at re-creations of a 16th century indigenous shelter.

De Soto National Memorial commemorates the 1539-1543 Spanish expedition of conquest led by Hernando de Soto. The expedition blazed 4000 miles through the heart of what is now the southeastern United States in search of gold, glory, and land to colonize. It devastated native societies and transformed the landscape. De Soto and his party made landfall here in Tampa Bay, just a few miles from here.

De Soto National Memorial

Hernando de Soto is born in Jerez de los Caballeros, Spain.

Under Córdoba, De Soto takes part in conquering the people in present day Nicaragua.

As a key commander for Pizarro, De Soto is part of the conquering of the Inca civilization.

At age 17, De Soto sets off on an expedition to the West Indies.

Rich from his travels, De Soto returns to Spain and marries Beatriz de Bobadilla.

King Charles of Spain makes De Soto governor of Cuba and gives his permission for him to set up a colony in La Florida.

Hernando de Soto dies near present day Natchez, Mississippi.

In the spring of 1539 nine sailing vessels commanded by the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto sailed from Cuba to Florida. The fleet carried hundreds of soldiers, laborers, clerics and enslaved people, plus everything necessary for an expedition of conquest and pillage. In late May the mobile army swarmed ashore on the southern coast of a vast region Spain called La Florida.

For the next four years De Soto’s group pushed 4,000 miles north and west through the heart of La Florida. They sustained themselves through “shock and awe” tactics:

plundering the crops of the large and prosperous Indian societies along the way. They kidnapped leaders and enslaved thousands.

Over time their savage reputation preceded them and Indian societies resisted the invasion with increasing success. By 1542 the army was battered and De Soto was dead. The Spanish survivors straggled down the Mississippi and returned to Mexico in 1543.

Moscoso backtracks to the Mississippi River.

De Soto takes the village of Uzita. Nearby his men retrieve Spaniard Juan Ortiz, the lone survivor of a 1528 mission who was enslaved for years by the Uzita cacique (male chief) until rescued by a Native American woman. Familiar with Indigenous languages and cultures, Ortiz becomes De Soto’s main interpreter and guide.

The expedition moves quickly through forests and grasslands, then deep rivers, swamps, and palm thickets slow it down. The area’s Indigenous people continually shoot arrows at the expedition.

The Coosa cacique leads the expedition south through his lands. He warns De Soto about his neighboring cacique, the fearsome Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa says he will let De Soto winter at Mabila.

This suits De Soto’s plan to send a detachment south to Achuse, where Spanish supply ships wait.

The Chicaza cacique lets De Soto use an abandoned village and provides food and supplies. Relations sour when the Spaniards execute several Chicaza people for stealing a pig. The Chicaza, in turn, attack them at night using arrows tipped with flaming herbs. Barely escaping, the expedition battles on the run for two weeks. The Chicaza pursue until the expedition leaves their territory.

Struggling over mountains, the expedition reaches the Tula people, who have plenty of food for the winter. The Tula attack. After multiple battles, the expedition heads back toward the river.

In winter the expedition builds seven vessels to take them to New Spain; they launch in early June. Native residents pursue them almost daily until they near the gulf.

At Mabila, a walled town on a wide river, De Soto demands to speak with Tuscaloosa about supplies.

Tuscaloosa’s warriors ambush De Soto. The battle ends when the Spaniards set the town on fire. Over 2,000 Indigenous people die. The fleeing Spaniards lose few people but most supplies.

With mutiny stirring, De Soto turns his expedition west. They face the oncoming winter with low supplies and dim hopes.

In spring the expedition meets the swift, wide Mississippi River. Believing gold may be on the river’s other side, De Soto spends months building rafts, then follows rumors of gold north and west.

The expedition comes upon people living in tipis who mention the presence of non-Indigenous people to the west. This may have been Francisco Coronado’s 1540 expedition.

After two months scouts report only dry land ahead, so Moscoso heads back to the Mississippi.

The expedition returns to the Mississippi River as winter ends. De Soto plans to build ships to get supplies downriver. He becomes ill, his health rapidly deteriorates, and he dies on May 21, 1542.

De Soto’s second-in-command, Luis de Moscoso Alvarado, now leads the expedition. He abandons De Soto’s river plan and goes west to find an over-land route to New Spain (today’s Mexico).

De Soto overtakes Utiangue and stays there for what he hopes is the expedition’s last winter.

De Soto’s trusted adviser Juan Ortiz dies.

The expedition’s survivors reach New Spain on September 10, 1543, with little to show for their nearly four-year journey. Hernando de Soto once conquered the Incan Empire in South America, but his expedition failed to conquer the many Indigenous peoples of America’s Southeast.

The cacica (female chief) at Cofitachequi seeks peace, greeting De Soto with pearls and goods.

When she says Chiaha may have mines, he forces her to take him there across the high mountains.

Upon learning of the expedition’s approach, Anhayca’s residents leave their town. De Soto camps here for the winter with ample food. Many of the expedition’s enslaved people die from the cold.

At Chiaha Cofitachequi’s cacica escapes while De Soto rests and his scouts search for mines. When they return without gold or silver, he heads south.

Intended end of De Soto’s expedition

“There arrived at dawn a most handsome fleet of more than a thousand canoes.”

“Neither by force nor persuasion could they brought under the authority and dominion of the Spaniards.”

“A nobleman . . . with his flesh showing . . . amidst frost and cold.”

On May 18 De Soto’s nine ships leave Havana with about 700 people, 200 horses, and 400 pigs. Within two weeks they land at what is now Tampa Bay.

To find gold and silver, De Soto heads northeast. His expedition passes through the land of the Toa but does not head to the principal village of Ocmulgee.

Markering the Trail De Soto National Memorial traces back to the late 1930s when automobile tourism was on the rise. Floridians capitalized on their state’s unique climate and wildlife, building roadside attractions that ranged from alligator wrestling to flower gardens.

The 400th anniversary of the De Soto expedition offered an opportunity to create a history-based tourist spot. A coalition of government and private groups established the De Soto Trail commemorating the expedition’s route through Florida. They chose Shaw’s Point, thought to be near the expedition’s landing site, for the first monument.

On May 30, 1939–400 years to the day after De Soto’s fleet anchored off the Florida coast—De Soto Trail boosters dedicated this eight-ton granite marker.

In 1948 Congress established the De Soto

National Memorial, encompassing the monument site here at Shaw’s Point. This

1950 photo shows supporters from the

National Society of Colonial Dames at the park’s dedication.

People of Place When De Soto’s expedition landed in Tampa Bay they encountered the Ucita, Mocosa, and Tocobaga—three powerful and prosperous Indian societies, each with their own language. These people had lived along this coast for thousands of years, nourished by the abundance of land and ocean resources. They built large well-defended towns that featured tall shell-mound platforms. They created a rich material culture that included elaborate pottery and textiles.

In the 1600s the people of the south Florida coast were part of a broader cultural family known today as the Mississipian:

a group of related societies who sprang from an agricultural revolution in the Mississippi Valley. Throughout their travels the De Soto expedition preyed heavily on the skills, labor, and harvests of Mississippian villages.

The Ucita, Mocosa, and Tocobaga people still exist—here in Florida, and around the world. They are the descendants of those who watched the conquistadors come ashore, who fought waves of colonization and survived catastrophic change. Today, they carry their culture forward.

Landfall The 1539 landing of the De Soto expedition was a massive undertaking. First the ship crews had to work the vessels over sandbars and into the bay. Then boat after boat rowed hundreds of expedition members ashore. Grooms coaxed over 200 horses into the water and swam them to the beach. Sentries guarded the operation.

For the expedition’s first long-term camp, De Soto chose an Indian village about eight miles from where the men and horses had disembarked. There, crews rowed the rest of the supplies to shore. These included clothing, food, camp gear, livestock, armor, and weapons. They also included chains and shackles—essential supplies for subjugation and conquest.

A Stroke of Luck As the expedition prepared for departure, De Soto scoured the area near the Uzita base camp, seeking Indians to bribe or threaten into providing assistance and information. In June of 1539 a scouting party chased down a group of Timicua warriors. They were startled to hear a plea for mercy in Spanish.

The man was Juan Ortiz, a Spaniard from an expedition 10 years prior. The story he told was harrowing. Captured by the Timicua, he had been repeatedly tortured and forced into servitude. He eventually won the Indians’ admiration by saving a child from a panther. He settled in the nearby village of Mocoso.

Ortiz asked the attacking

Spaniards to spare the Indian friends who were with him.

De Soto Expedition

For De Soto, finding Ortiz was a stroke of luck. Ortiz had local knowledge and cultural experience, and critically, he could serve as a translator. He remained with the expedition until his death two years later.

From August to December of 1739, the De Soto expedition moved north: a vast train of soldiers, priests, laborers, craftsmen and captives—plus horses, pigs, and dogs— struggling through dense forests and swamps.

As they traveled, the expedition descended on Indian villages to gather intelligence, plunder supplies, and take captives. Their hostile reputation preceded them. Indian resistance grew.

The Indians had lived and fought in this landscape for millennia. Moving quickly through familiar terrain, they outflanked the Spanish, hammering the enemy with close-fighting tactics. The attacks taught the Spanish a hard lesson, and predicted trouble to come.

Confitachequi In the spring of 1540, at the start of the growing season, the people of Cofitachequi got word of an approaching army of foreigners. When the group reached the city’s outskirts, the headwoman went out to greet them. She offered food and housing, and placed strings of freshwater pearls around the neck of their commander, a man named De Soto.

For 13 days the strangers lived in the city, eating stored food and searching for treasure. They were so demanding that the headwoman allowed them to dig into graves and take pearls from the dead.

But De Soto grew impatient. When the Indians told him of greater treasures inland, he ordered his people to pack up. As the group left Cofitachequi, they seized the shocked headwoman and her servants as hostages. Some 13 days later, she and her retainers escaped.

Battle of Mabila The De Soto expedition reached the homeland of the Atahachi in the fall of 1540. Following tactics of conquest that had served him well, De Soto “arrested” their leader, Tascalusa, and demanded supplies and slaves.

Tascalusa complied with De Soto’s request. But he also secretly alerted warriors at the town of Mabila to prepare an ambush. When the Spanish force reached the town, De Soto and a couple dozen men walked into the palisade. Hundreds of Atahachi warriors leaped out of hiding and attacked.

De Soto and his men fought back, barely escaping. Joined by the soldiers outside, they descended on the town. Fire broke out. In the chaos enslaved Indian porters hurled bundles of supplies into the inferno and joined the fray.

When the battle was over, the Spanish force was badly damaged.

Dozens of soldiers and horses were dead or wounded. A big portion of their supplies—food, clothing, weapons, and more—were gone.

Even the meager stash of treasure had been lost.

The Atahatchi, and De Soto’s Indian captives, experienced a far greater loss. The expedition’s chronicles report that 2,500

Indians died in the battle.

Back to Angola Each year, descendants of formerly-enslaved people return to Tampa Bay to celebrate at the “Back to Angola” festival.

During the late 1700s and early 1800s, many Black people escaped slavery in the United States and fled south. Granted freedom by the Spanish government, they settled in Florida. But when Spain transferred control of Florida to the U.S., those free people were once again in danger of enslavement.

In 1821, the U.S. Navy set out to capture the residents of Angola Village, a community of formerly-enslaved people located here on Tampa Bay.

Lookouts saw the approaching ships and rushed to warn the village.

Thanks to that early warning, most of the residents escaped to Sarasota Bay where they had stashed boats. The group sailed to the Bahamas, where they founded a new community.

Driven Out of Chicaza By winter of 1541, De Soto’s forces had reached the territory of the Chickasaw. The Indians gave the expedition permission to spend the winter in the abandoned village of Chicaza.

By spring, the Chickasaw were fed up with the Spaniards’ cruelty and constant demands. They plotted an ambush. In the pre-dawn darkness of March 4th, the village erupted in violence as Chickasaw warriors struck. Spaniards stumbled, half-dressed, out of the houses and into a scene of chaos and violence.

De Soto and a few soldiers managed to saddle their horses and charge the attackers, who abruptly retreated. The

De Soto Expedition

Spaniards knew they would be back. They threw equipment together and left. For the next two weeks the Indians harassed the expedition, driving them out of Chickasaw territory with attack after attack.

Crossing the Mississippi De Soto reached the Mississippi River in May of 1541. The expedition’s supplies were nearly gone. It was a decision point: would they head south to the sea, sail to Cuba, and re-stock their supplies? Or would they continue in search of promised treasure? De Soto made the choice: they would push on.

Despite warnings from the Indians on the river’s east bank—and a show of force from a large, organized fleet of war canoes from the far bank—the expedition spent a month building four huge rafts. Before dawn on June 18, De Soto sent a group of fighters across. Once they had cleared and guarded a landing site, the rest of the expedition—hundreds of people, plus horses and the dwindling herd of pigs—loaded onto the rafts and crossed the great river.

Death of a Conquistador By spring of 1542 the De Soto expedition had spent a year west of the Mississippi. They had found no sign of treasure— only armed resistance and a cold mountain winter. At last, De Soto ordered the battered force to turn back. They would sail down the Mississippi and across the Gulf to Cuba, then return with supplies to continue the quest.

But De Soto’s health was declining. It may have been an infected wound, or perhaps pneumonia, which had sickened many that winter. It worsened quickly. On May 21, at

Guachoya on the west bank of the Mississippi, the conquistador transferred command to a senior officer, Luis de Mosoco, received last rites, and died.

Their leader’s death put the expedition in a precarious position. De Soto had presented himself as a god among the Indians. News of his death would severely weaken the Spaniards’ standing. In the dark of night, the expedition leaders loaded De Soto’s body into a canoe, rowed out from shore, and lowered him secretly into the river.

A Long and Fruitless March With their commander dead, and their supplies gone, the expedition’s goals shifted from conquest to escape. De Soto’s plan had been to build boats, descend the Mississippi, and sail for Cuba. But commander Luis de Mosoco chose instead to march overland to Mexico.

It was the wrong decision. As they moved west and south the forests and rich valleys melted away, leaving dry, open grasslands. There were fewer villages and crops so the expedition could not feed themselves through conquest and theft.

After some 400 miles, and two scouting parties that brought back dismal reports, Mosoco turned the group around. They retraced their path and returned to the Mississippi.

Escaping Down the Mississippi

In September of 1542, after their failed attempt to reach Mexico overland, the expedition arrived back at the Mississippi. Through the winter and spring the surviving craftsmen directed construction of several shallow-draft boats. Supplies were so meager that the boatbuilding teams repurposed weapons and horseshoes into nails.

They made rope out of bark and extorted shawls from the Indians to stitch together into sails.

In July of 1543 the men loaded the fleet with food, water, and their remaining horses and cast off downriver. As they sailed down the Mississippi, Indians from powerful river towns swarmed out to attack. To lighten their load the Spaniards killed and ate their remaining 22 horses.

It took the group over two months to descend the river and cross the Gulf. On September 10, 1543, 311 ragged survivors landed on the Mexican shore.

When they departed, the expedition abandoned hundreds of enslaved Indians, leaving them far from home and deep in hostile territory.

A Land Transformed

Three Main Impacts

The De Soto expedition carved a devastating trail through what is now the southeastern United States. Although it spanned only four years, its legacy reverberates today.

Some of the expedition’s impacts were immediate. De Soto’s vicious tactics destroyed towns and left thousands of people dead from cruelty and exposure, battles and raids. Other changes unfolded more slowly. Introduced diseases and social destabilization contributed to the widespread collapse of ancient Mississippian cultures. And the expedition brought back descriptions of the region’s rich natural resources—attracting European colonists who would further transform this land.

We live in a world shaped by the brutal path of De Soto.

The expedition’s chronicles contain priceless first-hand descriptions of the extraordinary Mississippian societies lost to conquest and colonization.

Some domestic pigs escaped the expedition and became feral, transforming native habitats.

Expedition members spread deadly diseases such as smallpox to Indian populations who had no immunity.

Estuary Wildlife De Soto National Memorial is part of the Tampa Bay estuary, where fresh water, salt water, and land come together to create diverse, high-quality habitats.

Nutrient-rich waters swirl just offshore, nourishing seagrass beds. Coastal dunes, salt marsh, and mangrove forest line the shores. In the uplands mixed hardwood forest and pine and palmetto stands create drier habitats.

Eastern ratsnakeGopher tortoiseManateeMarsh rabbit (Pantherophis alleghaniensis)(Gopherus polyphemus)(Trichechus)(Sylvilagus palustris)

Eastern ratsnakes hunt for rodents, lizards, frogs, birds, and eggs in upland habitats.

These large, non-venomous snakes climb trees with ease.

Gopher tortoises dig deep nest burrows in dry, sandy uplands. The burrows protect the tortoises from predators and extreme temperatures. They also shelter other animals, such as snakes, frogs, and mice.

During the winter Florida manatees migrate into the relatively warm water of

Tampa Bay estuary to graze on underwater meadows of seagrass. Manatees are a threatened species, protected by law.

Marsh rabbits are spend much of their lives in and around wetlands such as the mangrove swamps here at Shaw’s Point.

They are excellent swimmers. Look for them at dawn and dusk.

Great blue heron (Ardea herodias)

Great blue herons are year-round residents of Tampa Bay. They stalk fish along the shorelines and hunt crabs, frogs, snakes and lizards in the mangroves.

Birds of Shore and Bay The Memorial Trail showcases the park’s lush mangrove wetlands. These salty shoreline forests provide habitat for hundreds of native species.

They are nesting sites and nurseries, lookouts and storm shelters.

Mangrove wetlands also protect fragile beaches and absorb storm surges. They store atmospheric carbon, helping buffer against climate change.

Snowy egretWhite ibisOsprey (Egretta thula)(Eudocimus albus)(Pandion haliaetus)

These small egrets nest among mangrove branches, often alongside other wading birds such as herons.

These wading birds probe for crustaceans and fish among shoreline vegetation. Their long curved bills have sensitive tips to help them find prey.

Watch for ospreys soaring over the bay— you might see one plunge into the waves, wings back and talons extended, to grab a fish.

Rancho Life In the 1700s and early 1800s, Cuban commercial fishers established seasonal fishing camps—known as ranchos—here along Florida’s gulf coast. The rancheros arrived in the fall and spent the winter fishing, mending nets, and processing their catch. In spring they sailed home, their boats heavy with salt fish to sell.

Returning year after year the Cubans developed strong cultural ties in Florida. Eventually some of the fishing ranchos evolved into small towns where Cubans, American Indians, formerly-enslaved Africans, and free blacks lived and worked close together.

You are standing at the site of one of these diverse fishing communities. In 1836, during the Seminole Wars, the United States military began to raid local ranchos, declaring them “unauthorized settlements.” Threatened with capture, enslavement, and forced resettlement, the rancho at Shaw’s Point disbanded and the workers fled.
