Book Synopsis Juan Ponce de León and the Spanish Discovery of Puerto Rico and Florida by : Robert Henderson Fuson
Download or read book Juan Ponce de León and the Spanish Discovery of Puerto Rico and Florida written by Robert Henderson Fuson and published by McDonald and Woodward Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Ponce de Leon was an important figure in the history of the Spanish colonisation of what are today Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the south-eastern United States. While many people are familiar with the name Ponce de Leon, only a handful know the historical truth of what Ponce did -- and did not -- do! This is the most extensive biography to date of this important but misrepresented figure in the early colonial history of America. Written by one of America's foremost experts on 15th and 106th century exploration and discovery, this book dispels the myths about Ponce de Leon and credits him with discoveries for which he previously has not been credited. The author assembles the most extensive collection ever of facts, reasoned inference, translations of critical documents, original maps, historical illustrations, and photographs bearing upon the life and legacy of this important figure. Ponce's life and legacy are examined in the context of Spain's ambitions in the New World during the 106th century.
