Description
Ponce de Leon’s story is forever linked to his alleged search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. He was one of Spain’s first explorers of the New World and discovered Florida. Softcover, 48 pages.
Publisher's Description of Juan Ponce de Leon: First Explorer of Florida and First Governor of Puerto Rico (Spotlight on Explorers and Colonization)
While he is now primarily associated with the quest for the legendary Fountain of Youth, Ponce de Leon was not merely involved in this fruitless search. A powerful figure in the Caribbean, he became the first governor of Puerto Rico. He led the first European expedition to Florida and was responsible for giving the state its name. The title discusses Ponce de Leon's treatment of Native Americans and the issues with crediting him with the discovery of Florida despite the Native Americans already living there and the possibility of earlier visits by Spanish slave-taking expeditions.
Category Description for Spotlight On Exploration And Colonization
The human spirit of discovery has always driven explorers to forge unchartered routes to distant territories. Before the discovery of the New World, explorers from Europe, Africa, and Asia brought the culture, politics, and customs of their homes to far-away lands. These actions encouraged trade, the spread of ideas and technology, and cultural interaction and exchange. This spirit of exploration continued with the European discovery and colonization of the Americas. The biographies in this series detail the lives and deeds of the most noteworthy explorers to cross the high seas or tread new routes across continents. Each title investigates their motivations, the often negative physical and cultural effects of exploration on native peoples, and, in turn, the influence of foreign cultures on society back home. ~Amber
