RE: Adsactly Education - Florida History
The story of the beginnings of the Floridian conquest is rather amusing. The Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León was looking for the mythological "Fountain of Youth" whose Bible located the source in the heart of the Garden of Eden; a sacred fountain that would see the flow of water miraculous and rejuvenating. But at the end of the trip, the conquistador finds another Garden of Eden, Florida.
Yes. Ponce de Leon didn't find the fountain, but did stumble into the garden.
