Presents a day-by-day account of Columbus' outward voyage, the discovery of America, and the voyage home
Christopher Columbus Books
Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean initiated widespread contact between Europeans and the Americas. His ambitious endeavor to find a new westward route to Asia, funded by the Spanish crown, began the process of Spanish colonization and foreshadowed broader European settlement of the New World. Columbus's pivotal role in launching this era and his impact on global history continue to be subjects of study and debate.
The year 1992 will see schoolchildren everywhere celebrating Christopher Columbus's fantastic journey to uncharted lands. This illustrated storybook is a compilation of passages taken from a translation of the actual journal that Columbus kept on his travels--a book to stir all who read it. Full-color and black-and-white illustrations throughout.
