The new findings were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Visiting in Hernando on Monday, Memphis Mayor AC Wharton said he couldn't leave without viewing the murals commemorating the explorer Hernando DeSoto at the historic courthouse. And he couldn't help but note the artwork came in 1953 as a donation from the old Goldsmith's store chain in Memphis.
