This episode describes de Soto and the Spanish army making their way through the state of Arkansas.  They will pass by many villages, not without conflict.  The army set up winter quarters in the village of Autiamque.  They would lose a vital member and soon after another.  The quest for gold is no longer, let’s build some ships and go home.
