Excerpt from The Hasinai Indians of East Texas as Seen by Europeans, 1687-1772

Apparently, the first contact of'the Hasinai with Europeans occurred when the survivors of the De Soto expedition, in the course of their search under Luis de Moscoso for an overland route to Mexico during the summer and fall of 1542, passed through and beyond the Hasinai settlements. On the sterile plains beyond the Trinity River the Spaniards despaired of their existence and, turning back to the Mississippi, recrossed Hasinai territory where briefly they enjoyed plentiful maize and, perhaps, bartered for the deerskins dressed and dyed black in which they were clothed when, the following September, they appeared at Panuco.
