about

Ponce de Leon (2006, Mary Z Cox)

Juan Ponce de Leon sailed to the Americas on Columbus's second voyage. He was a wealthy Spaniard who not only discovered enough gold in Puerto Rico to increase his own wealth, but sent enough treasure home to make the king of Spain a rich man too. As a reward, he was appointed governor of Puerto Rico and allowed to lead expeditions north in search of more treasure. Everyone knows of the quest for gold and the fountain of youth. Instead the Prince of Lions found a peninsula of flowers :)

It just seemed right to record this search for gold on my very gold and pearl Deering Gabriella banjo :)
