Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Nino, Pedro Alonso 1468-1505 (search)

Nino, Pedro Alonso 1468-1505 Explorer; born in Moguer, Spain, in 1468; served with Columbus on his third voyage, and with him discovered the island of Trinidad, Oct. 1, 1498, and later the coast which Columbus named Tierra Firme, and the outlets of the Orinoco River. Returning to Spain he fitted out an expedition on his own behalf, crossed the ocean in twenty-three days and visited the gulf on the coast of Tierra Firme, named by Ojeda the Gulf of Pearls, and secured a large amount of pearls by trading with the natives. He then cruised up the coast to Punta Araya, where he discovered the salt-mines which are still famous. He died in Spain about 1505.
