总结了在1512-1513年期间，根据与西班牙国王的契约，胡安·庞塞·德·莱昂开拓了佛罗里达半岛的两边。在他19岁那年，他踏上了哥伦布的第二次航行，并参与了对伊斯帕尼奥拉岛的征服，伊斯帕尼奥拉岛是加勒比海地区海地和多米尼加共和国所在的岛屿。这对他来说一定很有帮助，因为他能够自掏腰包，为他的佛罗里达之旅提供装备。
summarizes how Juan Ponce de Leon explored both sides of the Florida peninsula in 1512-13 under contract from the King of Spain... At the age of 19, he’d been on Columbus’ second voyage, and participated in the conquest of Hispaniola, the island where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are in the Carribean. This must have worked out pretty well for him, as he was able to outfit his Florida expedition out of his own pocket.
