Luis's Research Report 12-16-2015 European Explorers Do you know about Juan Ponce De Leon? Well he was a European Explorer that was famous. Did you know when he traveled with Christopher Columbus to the new world? Any way I will tell you one of my favorite stories when Juan Ponce De Leon went to find the fountain of youth. Do you want to find out? Well then Let’s Go! Juan Ponce De Leon was born in Spain 1474. He grew up being poor. Even though he was poor Juan was also a hard worker and noble. He was ruthless sometimes. This is how Juan Ponce De Leon’s life all started. Juan married this woman called Leonora, who soon became Leonora Ponce De Leon. Juan had 4 children. He had 3 girls and 1 boy. The girls were called : Maria Ponce De Leon, Isabel Ponce De Leon, Juana Ponce De Leon. The only boy was called Luis Ponce De Leon. Juan Ponce De Leon sailed with Christopher Columbus on the second voyage to THE NEW WORLD in 1493. On the ship Juan was listed as “ gentlemen volunteer”. In 1506 Juan went to Borinquen and told them to tell him where is Puerto Rico. In 1513 he sailed away from Puerto Rico to find the fountain of youth instead he ended up in Florida. He could not find the fountain of youth so he back to Puerto Rico in 1521. Later he sailed to Florida where they attacked him so he ran to Cuba which he got Wounded and died. Unfortunately this is the life of Juan Ponce De Leon. Did you like to learn about Juan Ponce De Leon? Did you learn a little about Juan Ponce De Leon? Well I hope you did. Stay toon for the next story which will be Henry Hudson's adventures.
