Columbus the four voyages

Columbus the four voyages

Bergreen, Laurence.
Large Print 2011

Throw out everything you know about Columbus. In the first major biography of the iconic explorer in more than sixty years, Laurence Bergreen shows us both the madness and genius of the man. Everyone knows about 1492, but Columbus embarked upon three more journeys, made all the more amazing by the fact that he sailed on instinct alone, never losing a man in his crossings. And Columbus left his mark (not always for the better) everywhere he went.
