What lands did ponce de leon and coronado explore?

Answer 1

Juan Ponce de Leon set out from Puerto Rico and landed in Florida in 1513 near Melbourne Beach on Florida's east coast in search of gold, not the Fountain of Youth as many believe. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado set out from Compostela, in Northern Mexico, in 1640 in order to find a legendary city of gold called Cibola that a priest named Friar Marcos had said that he'd been to with his slave, Estevanico. Coronado travelled through Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, and went as far as central Kansas before returning to Mexico.
