  • Conquistadors at Saltville in 1567 Revisited
    Conquistadors at Saltville in 1567 Revisited Jim Glanville © 2014 Introduction This article continues and extends its author’s study of the interaction between the archeological and documentary evidence for the Spanish period of sixteenth century Virginia history. In 2004, the author published in the Smithfield Review an article titled “Conquistadors at Saltville in 1567? A Review of the Archeological and Documentary Evidence,” 1 which was footnoted in a review of sixteenth century Florida historiogra phy published in 2012 in connection with the 500-year anniversary of Juan Ponce de León’ s exploration of the Florida coast in 1513.2 Today, the story of the Spanish attack in Southwest Virginia is a part of mainstream Virginia history.3 The author subsequently published three follow up articles about the conquistadors. The first of these described a metal blade found in Smyth County, Virginia, that its finder speculated might have a Spanish connection (it did not).4 The second article was a brief progress report.5 The third article discussed the modern background to the story of the conquistadors and how that story developed.6 The present article reviews the routes of the Hernando de Soto7 (1539– 1542) and Juan Pardo (1566–1568) entradas into the American Southeast as revealed by the combination of archeological and documentary evidence. It also describes ongoing archeological studies at the conquistadors’ base camp at present-day Morganton, North Carolina; it cites two recently-found 145-year old newspaper reports (reproduced in the Appendix) of a buried Spanish soldier—who lies just a few miles outside the southern boundary of modern-day Virginia; and, via an examination of documentary evidence for the entradas, it compares with a modern map the region of Virginia shown in the third (1584) edition of the first-ever printed world atlas.

Geography is among the youngest of the sciences. must It is not ready, therefore, to announce many generalizations, but concentrate on the systematic and comprehensive scrutiny of individual areas, inquiring into the conditions of the past as well as into those now existing. The collection of facts in this manner, and in this manner only, will lead to the establishment of the principles of geography. Such a study implies the attitude of the judge of conditions rather than of the advocate of theories. It is concerned with the impartial analysis of the conditions of life in a region, not with the enunciation of a theory for which evidence is to be adduced.

  • Holston Methodism
    HOLSTON METHODISM. (0 HOLSTON METHODISM FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE PRESENT TIME. By R. N. PRICE. VOLUME I. From the Introduction of Methodism into the Holston Country to the Year 1804. THIRD THOUSAND Nashville, Tenn. ; Dallas, Tex.: Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South. Smith & Lamar, Agents. 1904. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1903, By R. N. Price, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. Much of the material used in writing this history was col- lected by my predecessor in office, 'the late lamented William G. E. Cunnyngham, D.D., but I have been fortunate in adding to it considerably. I began collecting and writing under an impression of the great value and importance of Holston Methodist history, and with the intention of sparing no pains in gathering facts, searching everything to the bottom, and presenting a con- nected and logical story. This intention has led to the neces- sity of two, three, or more volumes to bring the work to com- pletion. This prolixity may be objectionable in the eyes of some, but I believe that the patience and purses of our people will bear the strain. I pray that God may spare my life, and that the people may furnish "the sinews of war," to enable me to bring the work down to the present day. The educating and inspiring influence of such a work can hardly be overrated. The provincial character of the Holston Conference, hemmed in, as it is, on all sides by mountains, weakens the interest of our people in the events of the outside world, and intensifies their interest in whatever is local.
