The Fountain of Youth Was Real! Jerry Wayne Miller

History's accounts of certain events are sometimes changed for convenience, or shame, or pride, or just to save face. The official account of Ponce de Leon's pursuit of the Fountain of Youth, his failure to actually find it, and the intimate details of his death might have well been recorded in our history books conveniently skewed to create an alternate reality for nefarious reasons. With that premise in mind let us follow another version of that all too familiar accounting of an illusive and intriguing search for a youth giving fountain. This time let us not just rely on the historians' version that centuries ago put quill pen and ink to parchment setting in stone their version of events. Rather lets hypothesize an alternate version of events from the other side of history, that being witnessed by the indigenous natives while suffering under the wrath, deceit, aggression, and lies of the so called conqueror Ponce de León! Let us follow the path and journey of a young Indian brave from not only his youth to that of his manhood, but to the possibility of his discovery that could change forever our version of history regarding The Fountain of Youth and the historical recorded account of Ponce de Leon's demise.
