When Hernando de Soto travelled through the Missisippi valley in 1540, the first white man to do so, he found whole villages standing empty. Their inhabitants had died from smallpox without having seen a white man.

Not only did the North American Indians not have specific resistance to smallpox, but scientists think that they had less general exposure or resistance to disease, since they kept no livestock and did not live in cities.
