The skaleton of Dc Soto.

The local historians of Baton Rouge,
La, believe that the mortal remains Of
Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site of Port Hudson. The books tell diff
ferent tales about the death and burial
of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped i'll his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi; others that
the remains were incased in hollow
log. In 1853 three hunters-Rigsby,
Davis and Hurin-were encamped near
what is now Port Hudson. While kim
ding fire they found human skele-
ton in a'hollow log that had been lying
in drift. The bones were those of man
six feet tall. In the log helmet, a
rusty sword and large bronze crucifix
were also found, and on one of the fin
gers Of tho skeletons hand large seal
RUG. Tho discoverers of this ghastly
memento believe that the remains were
those of De Soto, the discoverer of tho
Mississippi river. The burial place of
the bones is we'll known to the Rigsbys,
who still reside in Louisiana. st.
