Ponce de Leon was a very smart and amazing person. First Juan Ponce de Leon was born on 1421. He grew up and by 1453 he sailed with the mean Christopher Columbus. At 1506 Ponce went out on a trip and found a lot of gold. Sadly Ponce died July, 1521.

Ponce de Leon was a smart explorer. First Ponce de Leon was born in 1421. When he grew up he became an explorer, and in 1453 he set off in a boat with Christopher Columbus. In 1506 " Leon " went on an adventure to explore and he found a lot of golden coins. Sadly " Leon" died in 1521, by a Calusa arrow in his thigh. Leon was famous for finding Florida, which means place of flowers. In all Ponce De Leon was an amazing explorer, who found Florida even though he faced challenges.😌😍😘

He is most famous by being the 1st person to discover Florida. He was born in 1460. did you know he explored with Christopher Columbus. He was the kings goverment but sadly he was replaced by Columbs son. Before he was on a mission to find the fountain youth that gives old people the power to be young again but that’s just a myth. He fund the calusas trib village.They found out the calusas we not very nice people so they left in 1506 and came back in 1508 they brought over 200 settlers,horses,and seeds. That’s when the calusas ambushed them pounce De Leon was shot with a arrow in the battle he died of the age 61 in Cuba. We all remember the brave soul of JUAN PONCE DE LEON.

Ponce de Leon was a great explorer. First of all he was born in 1421.He grew up to be an explorer. In 1453 he set off with Christopher Columbus. Later on they found an island and met the Calusa tribe. Ponce de Leon and Christopher Columbus found out the Calusa tribe were not very friendly. Sadly he passed away in 1521 because he got shot in the thigh by one of the Calusa's arrows.

Juan Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer that found Florida. He was born on 1460 but no body really knows when he was born though. He was famous when he found FL as well. In 1453 he sailed with Christopher Columbus to find the Calusa Indains were not very friendly. He got shot in the thigh with an arrow and then died at the age of 61 in 1523.

Ponce-De-Leon was famous for finding Florida but was also a bad man so he deserved to be shot in the thigh from a strong,powerful Calusa arrow(he died of his wounds in Cuba 3 weeks later).

Ponce de Leon was a brave and smart explorer. He found Florida and sailed fierce storms. He found the Calusa but they shot him in the thigh and maybe with a poisonous arrow. I say poisonous arrow because the doctors could'n save him. So that's how he died.

Ponce de Leon was the finder of Florida.He was born in Spain on the date 4-8-1460.He was sent from Spain by the king and the queen to find the fountain of youth,which was know as a myth to make people young again and cure sicknesses.Ponce de Leon landed in Saint Augstine (in Florida).Where the Clusas were,they shot Pone de Leon and he died from his wound sadly.Then Columbus's son took in charge because Ponce de Leon and Christopher Columbus were close friends.Wait but don't we disapprove how he treated people!!!???

Ponce De Leon was born in 1421. He sailed back to America with Christopher Columbus and he was very rich because he found gold. In 1531 he died, he was killed by a native tribe called the Calusas. They killed him by shooting an arrow in his thigh.

Juan ponce de Leon was a very famous Spanish explorer that did many amazing things 😀 but he was also born in 1460 and his family and him were very poor . He was also very famous for finding a nearby island and named it Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 .He additionaly found very large deposits of gold.His ships 🚢 landed in the east coast of Florida in 1513.In the first decade of the 1500s he built settlements in Hispaniola.He was the first to name,and most importantly to FIND Florida he named it that because it meant that it was filled with flowers 🌺.And then in 1521 he got shot with calusas arrows in the thigh and died in Cuba 🇨🇺.

Pounce de Leon is a famous explorer because he was one of the first Florida explorers to interact with FL Indians. He was sent by the king of France to look for gold and the mysterious fountain of youth. He never found the fountain because he was shot in the thigh with a Calusa arrow and died in Cuba at sixty - one.

Pounce de Leon was famous in three ways one way is because he found Florida,my second reason why pounce de Leon is famous is because he also found what we today as purtarico,the last reason why pounce de Leon is famous is that when he explored he got shot by an arrow in Florida but he didn’t die in till he got back to Spain
