The Route of Hernando de Soto through Alabama
There are two proposed locations in which Hernando de Soto entered into Alabama. One is through the Nickajack via the Tennessee River Gorge ("western route"), departing from the Tennessee River in today's Marshall County (Guntersville), and then probably down Browns Valley into the Coosa River basin. The relative impassability of this terrain seems to make it less likely than an "eastern" entry point at the head of the Coosa River in NW Georgia.
