  • goldenarcher66 is right I should know he is my ancestor or one of them at least

  • Not a bad tribute to a very late ancestor of mine. The explorer blood still flows through me each time I am in nature.

  • I heard that Juan Ponce De' Leon was born in 1560 in Spain

  • muy bien chavalote!! jajajaja.

  • this information is good, however not totally accurate. Research the findings of historians Col. Douglas Peck and Frank Thomas for a corrected account for history.

  • im watching this because i need to know more about christopher columbus. its good.
