Juan Pardo
Donated by Penny Ferguson

her comments:

I think Juan Pardo played an important part in what we are trying to research. He made several trips, left men in the interior of USA, I can’t find his journals anywhere online, and even if I could they would be in Spanish.
Here is a book on questia (pay site), not the original journals, but with footnotes which are in Spanish (Portuguese?). Anyway it is a sample of clues of where records are, or it should be, I can’t read them:

The Spanish Settlements within the Present Limits of the United States Florida, 1562-1574
Book by Woodbury Lowery; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1911. 500 pgs.

%20PARDO%20AND%20BOYANO%20--

%20RETURN%20OF%0aAVIL%c3%89S%20TO%20SPAIN  

The first expedition began on December 1, 1566 and lasted until March 7, 1567. Pardo and his company of 125 soldiers moved northward. Pardo had to live off of the land or get provisions from the natives. This forced Pardo to follow a route that followed population centers as opposed to a chosen course. Pardo visited many native towns and built several forts for protection and food storage. Pardo was located by a runner bearing a letter from the commander of Sante Elena ordering him to return at once to defend the colony from French retribution over the sack of Fort Caroline. Pardo left his chaplain and four soldiers near present day Salisbury, North Carolina.

and 

Pardo also left behind his chaplain and a few soldiers to evangelize the Indians. According to anthropologist/historian Charles Hudson and as evidenced by the second expedition, Pardo must have also instructed Indians to build houses for the Spanish troops and to store corn exclusively for Spanish troops.  Meanwhile, Sergeant Moyano and his men at Fort San Juan searched for minerals and helped a rival tribe defeat the Chiscas.
