An early Spanish explorer’s account of American Indians.

 

This volume mines the Pardo documents to reveal a wealth of information pertaining to Pardo’s routes, his encounters and interactions with native peoples, the social, hierarchical, and political structures of the Indians, and clues to the ethnic identities of Indians known previously only through archaeology. The new afterword reveals recent archaeological evidence of Pardo’s Fort San Juan--the earliest site of sustained interaction between Europeans and Indians--demonstrating the accuracy of Hudson’s route reconstructions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This work will be especially welcomed by those seeking connections between archaeological 'phases' with unlikely names and historic Indian tribes of the Southeast. This is a bold interpretation based upon several rather thin lines of evidence. Its strength lies in the confidence one can place in Hoffman's translations and in the solid reputation Hudson has built reinterpreting the Southeast before as well as after Pardo's time."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough account of those Spaniards who came after De Soto
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Very enjoyable account of the last Spanish expeditions into the Catawba uplands connecting the fuller writings of De Soto's chroniclers with the most up-to-date research as to who was visited and at what locations at that time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars North Carolina and Virginia before the British
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023

    Most people assume that the history of Virginia began with Jamestown. Human history in Virginia began at least some 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. The Juan Pardo expedition was directed to go to the Silver mines in Mexico by the Spanish Governor of Florida, Avilas. Instead Juan Pardo explored the mountains of North Carolina, built forts east to west, and interacted poorly with the original inhabitants. In fact, his Sgt. Moyano with Indians from the south attacked the Chisca Indians near what is today, Saltville, Virginia. All of the forts were burned and all but one Spaniard was killed, except for Juan Pardo, who had already gone back east before that happened. The author doesn't come right out and say it but the reader automatically reasons that the forts were burned by the Chisca in retaliation for Moyano having not only attacked them, but for taking slaves back to the forts. Another large nation mentioned were the Joara. Charles Hudson studied the expeditions and placed the Joara south and east of the Chisca in his book on southeastern Indians. The author utilizes the direct sources of information from the records of the expedition itself as well as Florida documents. The book is well organized and the writing just puts the facts out there without making mountainous suppositions about the whys of what happened.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish and Indians in the Carolinas
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2007
    Charles Hudson is perhaps the best scholar to read about the interaction of Indians and Spanish in the American Southeast during the 16th century. His book about De Soto's route is definitive. This book concerns the nearly-forgotten expeditions of Juan Pardo through the Carolinas and across the Appalachians to Tennessee in 1566,67,and 68. Included in the book are the official accounts in Spanish of Pardo's expeditions plus English translations.

    Pardo visited several of the same Indian cities as De Soto had thirty years earlier and thus we have two sources regarding such places as Cofitachequi, Joara, and Coosa. When De Soto reached Cofitachequi -- few miles east of present-day Columbia, SC, it was aleady in decline, having suffered from a plague -- almost certainly of European origin. By Pardo's time, the powerful Chiefdom was on its last legs. Within a few years, the complex societies seen by the early Spanish would cease to exist to be replaced by the much depopulated and simpler societies of the historic Creek, Cherokee, Catawba and other Indian tribes.

    Hudson pieces together linguistic and archaeological data as well as nuggets from the tiresome accounts of the expedition by Pardo's legalistic notary to portray the Indians Pardo met. One interesting feature of Pardo's expeditions compared with De Soto's is that Pardo had few battles or adventures, got along well with most of the Indians he met, and none of his men were killed or died.

    There is little information about the Indians of the Southeast at the time of first contacts with the invading Europeans. Pardo's is one of the most useful and least fanciful accounts that we have and Hudson's interpretation of it is almost surely the best that can be found.

    A good book. Well written. Easy to read.

    A good account of a little-known Spanish expedition through the US Southeast.

    Recommended for people who think de Soto was the only Spaniard to enter the interior of Dixie. You will learn something. Has several insights that help to understand just where de Soto really went and when, with excellent background on the people that he met.
