Juan Ponce De Leon needed supplies for his voyage FYI (for your information) put up some answers I'm doing a project on him don't be so selfish gosh
well first he sailed to Florida then some other places
Indians ambushed him and got shot in the thigh by an arrow.
Juan Ponce De Leon sailed with Christopher Columbus on many different occasions for many different expeditions. Some expeditions even to Japan...& of course Florida.
Ponce de León was injured by a poisoned arrow to the shoulder, or perhaps in the thigh as some historians state. Perhaps the best answer would be to state simply that he was shot in Florida and died in Havana.
actually many after he was governor of Florida
