Talisi

Talisi was a town in the Coosa river country, at the edge of the lands associated with the chiefs of Coosa and Tuskaloosa. Hernando de Soto's Spanish expedition reached it in September 1540, having travelled south through Coosa territory while holding its chief under guard. At Talisi, the Spaniards demanded food, deerskins, porters and women. After the town's leader supplied their demands, de Soto released the chief of Coosa and continued toward Tuskaloosa's country.
