Sense Sonnet - Acher

Mabila

The battle of Mabila site
'Tis in Alabama somewhere.
Spaniard de Soto chose to fight
Native chief Tuscaloosa there.
De Soto was in search of gold,
And killing natives in his way.
Tuscaloosa took a chance bold,
Pretending a give up display,
Leading de Soto to a trap.
In Mabila, killing was done,
But battle details - there's a gap.
So which side lost and which side won?

Why Mabila so long ago?
Inquiring minds just need to know.
