This biography introduces young readers to the life of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León. Readers learn about his early education as a page and a squire to Pedro Núñez de Guzmán and his early inspirations, such as Christopher Columbus's stories of reaching the Indies by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. Readers also learn that many historians believe Ponce de León joined Columbus's second voyage to the New World, which set sail from Cádiz, Spain. Ponce de León's time on Hispaniola, his military service, and his family life are also discussed. Engaging text details Ponce de León's expedition to Puerto Rico for King Ferdinand II, who allowed Ponce de León to colonize the island. A detailed map allows readers to follow Ponce de León's expedition to the island of Bimini in search of the Fountain of Youth. Readers discover that Ponce de León explored the Bahamas, named Florida, discovered the Gulf Stream, and explored the Florida Keys. Ponce de León's death in Cuba is also introduced, as is his legacy today in Puerto Rico. Full-color photos, an index, a timeline, discussion questions, bold glossary terms, and phonetics accompany easy-to-read text.

The bestselling author of Blue Latitudes takes us on a thrilling and eye-opening voyage to pre-Mayflower America On a chance visit to Plymouth Rock, Tony Horwitz realizes he's mislaid more than a century of American history, from Columbus's sail in 1492 to Jamestown's founding in 16-oh-something. Did nothing happen in between? Determined to find out, he embarks on a journey of rediscovery, following in the footsteps of the many Europeans who preceded the Pilgrims to America. An irresistible blend of history, myth, and misadventure, A Voyage Long and Strange captures the wonder and drama of first contact. Vikings, conquistadors, French voyageurs—these and many others roamed an unknown continent in quest of grapes, gold, converts, even a cure for syphilis. Though most failed, their remarkable exploits left an enduring mark on the land and people encountered by late-arriving English settlers. Tracing this legacy with his own epic trek—from Florida's Fountain of Youth to Plymouth's sacred Rock, from desert pueblos to subarctic sweat lodges—Tony Horwitz explores the revealing gap between what we enshrine and what we forget. Displaying his trademark talent for humor, narrative, and historical insight, A Voyage Long and Strange allows us to rediscover the New World for ourselves.
