The Fountain Of Youth


Fountain of Youth

Caribbean Indians told Europeans of a fountain that would restore old men to their youth. This land was very mystical and many searched for it. The land that contained the alleged Fountain of Youth was called Bimini. Ponce de Leon served as governor of Puerto Rico in the early 16th century. He set out to look for Bimini in 1513 in search of gold, slaves and other forms of wealth. He never found Bimini and it's believed to be myth. He named the land he found, Florida.
