What was to be thought of these people who lived in golden houses and the streets of whose cities were paved with golden blocks? When the El Dorado vanished like the golden clouds of a summer morning, with it dis- appeared many of the facts of history; for the nations of Europe refused to believe them. Such was the fate of the great river of the New World. It was navigated for many leagues and described accurately by the chroniclers of the expeditions. Then gradually it disappeared from the min...ds of men and was forgotten; its history became a fable, as unreal as the wonderful house and the wonderful giant in the story of ' ' Jack and the Bean Stalk. ' ' Like the American continent in the time of Columbus, it needed to be discovered. The historian John Gilmary Shea in "The Discovery and Explor- ation of the Mississippi," writes: "Such clear accounts of a great river which the party of De Soto had found navigable for at least a thousand miles would naturally have drawn attention to it; but we find no notice of any Spanish vessels entering the river to trade in furs or slaves, or simply to explore.
