Needs disambiguation (Acuera the man from Acuera the tribe/territory)further references and hyperlinks in added text. Qureus1 ( talk) 14:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Most of the text in this article is copied, with minimal editing and almost no attribution, from Garcilaso de la Vega's History of the Conquest of Florida (also known as Florida of the Inca). Vega's account differs in a number of points from accounts left by members of the de Soto expedition (Milanich and Hudson, in Hernando de Soto and the Indians of Florida, state that de la Vega confused Acuera and Ocale). Even if attribution of the text had been clearer, we really do not need whole paragraphs copied from sources of dubious accuracy. I will shortly remove the material copied from Vega's book, and add material based on more recent scholarship. -- Donald Albury 00:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
I just replaced the whole article. Most of it had been copied from Florida of the Inca, and the rest was unreferenced. I have used recently published (within the last 20 years or less) books by well-known historians/archaeologists as sources. I will be adding more as I get a change to dig into Worth's books. -- Donald Albury 11:37, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Noticed you are overhauling this article, long needed and looking good! Here is a map based on Hudson showing location during de Sotos "visit" if you are interested in adding as an illustration [1]. Cheers, He iro 03:18, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
