We were recently reminded that we haven't done a conquistador type dude in a while, so here's one who's famous for the dumbest reason instead of for all the shit he actually did in his life! Juan Ponce de Leon got off to a rough start as a conquering Spaniard. But he righted that ship pretty fast and soon became a scourge to the natives. Yea, they leave a lot of that part out of his story when they tell you about him in school. Anyway, this guy sucked as a person, but his story is dope, outside the crimes against humanity. Enjoy!
