The expedition continued trough present-day South Carolina and then to north, across Appalachian Mounthains of North Carolina, and after that entered Tennessee. In 1941. de Soto and his expedition turned westwards, and reached river Mississippi. De Soto was the first European man that crossed Mississippi. They continued trough modern-day Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and later returned to Mississippi. De Soto died in 1942.
