Answer:

Hernando de Soto discovered the Mississippi River.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In 1539 Hernando de Soto and five hundred adventurers began on a journey of exploration that would take 4 years and would travel through 10 states in the southeast United States. His goal was to discover a source of wealth, preferably gold, and around his mines establish a settlement.
  • Hernando de Soto and his expedition became the first Europeans to see and cross the mighty Mississippi River.
