PONCE DE LEÓN
According to my research ,Ponce de Leon is a Spanish explorer who discovers new lands for his country, Spain .
He was the first European to discover a colony which is now known as Puerto Rico.
He was also the govenor of Puerto Rico but not long after he was replaced .
Ponce de Leon discovered the Gulf Stream and he was also the first European to set foot in Florida .
One fact that I found interesting was that ponce heard about the fountain of youth.
According to the legend , the fountain of youth was a stream that could make an old person young again by drinking from or bathing in its magical waters .
Historians believe that the natives just told ponce about the fountain of youth so he could leave their land because at that time ponce wanted to takeover the natives land and the navies weren't so happy about that .
