    Juan Ponce de León y Figueroa (1474 – July 1521) was a Spanish explorer. He became the first Governor of Puerto Rico by appointment of the Spanish crown. He led the first European expedition to Florida, which he named. He is associated with the legend of the Fountain of Youth, reputed to be in Florida. He was born in the village of Santervás de Campos in the northern part of what is now the Spanish province of Valladolid. Although early historians placed his birth in 1460, more recent evidence shows he was likely born in 1474. His family genealogy is extremely confusing and poorly documented. There is no consensus on who his parents were but it seems that he was a member of a distinguished and influential noble family. His relatives included Rodrigo Ponce de León, the Marquess of Cádiz and a celebrated figure in the Moorish wars.…

    Legends, not facts, say that Ponce de Leon discovered Florida while in pursuit for the mythical Fountain of Youth. The story behind the Fountain of Youth, is that anyone who drinks from or bathes in the fountain will restore youthfulness in themselves. There was never any proof that de Leon was searching for the fountain and it was not until after his death that people said he was searching for these fountains to reverse his age. The lack of proof has disproved these assumptions of such explorations. Gold and other forms of wealth were more important and higher up on de Leon’s…

    Hernan Cortes was chosen as captain general for the Spanish expedition to America in 1518, but that appointment was quickly rescinded by Velazquez. Set on making the voyage anyway, he sailed without the proper authority. His persistence later proved to be exactly what would help him put an end to the longstanding Aztec empire in the years to follow. Shortly after he landed, Cortes and his limited supply of soldiers, sailors, and horses were greeted by ambassadors who showered him with gifts as he was able to quickly win their affection. One of his spoils was a slave named La Malinche who…

    The Spanish crowns encouragement for colonists in central Mexico to intermarry with Indians in the early 1500’s created an intersectional experience for the first mestizo generation. This experience was created through a strategic process of plotting, rationalizing, and execution by the hands of the government, church and military. Post conquest, the government (Spanish Crowns) placed together a plan that manipulated race into setting up a hierarchical order that could either prohibit you or enable you economic and social privileges.…

    A mestizo is the offspring between a Spaniard and an indigenous person. Many indigenous women bore the children of Spaniards as they were looked at as sexual objects in the Encounter. Also during the Encounter, Mexico had become New Spain which was made up of mostly Spanish men and indigenous women. There were very few Spanish women, so as time passed, more and more mestizo children were produced. An example of a Spaniard having relations with an indigenous woman is Cortes and Malintzin. Malintzin’s mestizo son, Martin, was neglected by his Spanish father. Mestizo children were recognized as second class people when compared to the Spanish. Mestizo children were often neglected and inherited little to nothing from their…

    In 1513, he landed on Florida’s east coast and claimed this land for Spain. Since he was the one who discovered this piece of land, he was entitled to name it and named it La Florida, or “Place of Flowers.” After, he decided to sail down the coast where he had experienced rough currents and named this area Cape Canaveral, meaning “Cape of Currents.” Then he went down the east coast of Florida to arrive on an island that had lots of turtles.

    _Myths of the Spanish Conquest_ is broken into seven chapters, each dedicated to a different myth or mis-conception regarding the Spanish conquest. In debunking these myths, Matthew Restall works with three themes regarding the conquest. First, that the European discovery of the Americas was one of the greatest events in human history. Second, that the conquest was the achievement of "a few great men," which he subsequently describes as "a handful of adventurers." These two themes lead to a third theme, or question. "If history's greatest event - the European discovery and conquest of the Americas - was achieved by a mere "handful of adventurers," how did they do it?"…
