Books with title Christopher Columbus: Explorer of the New World

The true legacy of Christopher Columbus is much more complex than the familiar myth of him as the celebrated founder of the New World. On his voyages to islands in the Caribbean, he killed and enslaved many native people and was even arrested in Spain for his tyrannical governance of the lands he still believed to be the Indies. This resource takes a critical look at Columbuss actions, their implications for colonization and cross-cultural exchange, and their lasting impact on todays world.

Join Francisco and his good friend Pedro as they sail with Christopher Columbus on an exciting adventure to the "New World." Find out why Columbus wants to sail into the vast, unknown Sea of Darkness. Why would two boys be allowed to go on such a dangerous voyage? You will see, first-hand, the dangers of sea travel and how the courage of Columbus kept everyone safe. Read how Francisco and Pedro, stepped ashore boldly and met Tiapo and Caunita, two native-Americans children living on the island of Guanahani. You will discover how the "Indians" lived and how the sailors treated them. Will Columbus and his crew become rich and famous and will their discovery change the world?
