Explanation:
I notice that both of these stories are setting a new goal in a new place.
For Pioneering in Florida, it shows that they had to move but just for one more year due to help his sister and get her homestead. They had to go through many obstacles so they can succeed in their goal.
Okay so, for Finding Gold, Finding Florida, it seems like they go something similar but, Ponce de León wanted to find the "Fountain of Youth" and gold in an island called Bimini. He had set a goal but died sadly due to the Calusa people attacked him and shot him at an arrow at his leg.
Basically, I see something going on for both of these stories. They are similar to what they got at the end. They didn't get what they wanted most but, get something great. For Finding Gold, Finding Florida, it showed they didn't find the "Fountain of Youth" but got his voyages spurred others to search for gold and other riches in the New World.
In Pioneering in Florida, they had the whole Doster family in Florida.
It was harsh for them living but, they were able to pass the obstacles in Florida. Dora's mother wanted to go back someday in the trains due to her homesickness. (I forgot what I was doing-)
