Description
Excerpt from In Quest of Gold: Being a Romance, Dealing With the Remarkable Expedition of Ferdinand De Soto, and His Cavaliers, to Florida in the Year 1539 Only one thought filled the young man's mind. It was that of getting away, away from the Old town with its familiar streets and the country round about he knew so well, away from his teachers, his schools and his unlearned lessons, away from his home, its pleasant hours and a mother's admiration. Juan de Leon simply wished to get away, away with the noblest sons Of Spain and a thousand lovers Of Western adventure, away from a place where, as a youth, he had been a general favorite, the very idol of the boys of Seville. Now, the popular de Leon sought new worlds to conquer. His thoughts that April day were far away, across the Great Ocean. Standing in the ranks Of de Soto's chosen ones, he gripped his lance like a seasoned veteran, looked not about him at the staring crowd, nor cast stolen glances at the fair damsels who had come to view the muster of the men and watch the ten ships leave the little harbor.
