Ponce de Leon was a crew member under Christopher Colombus during his second voyage to the new world in 1493. This was the first time he ever landed on the island of Puerto Rico, the island that he would later become the governor of in 1509. Ponce de Leon would return to the island of Hispaniola in 1502 with Nicolás de Ovando. He was put in charge of taking down the rebellion of the TaÃnos tribe. Then in 1508 King Ferdinand commanded de Leon to conquer the remaining TaÃnos and exploit their resources and use them to mine gold. De Leon immediately left Hispaniola and explored the island of Puerto Rico and became governor. Then in 1512 Ponce de Leon was granted a charter to explore into present day Florida, in search for the island of Benimey. And to summarize the voyage. He comes up on Florida which is most defiantly not an island and comes back multiple times just to find that its a bunch of swampy marsh land.
