Excerpt from Famous Indian Chiefs: Their Battles, Treaties, Sieges, and Struggles With the Whites for the Possession of America Upon a beautiful day in July, 1492, two brown-skinned Spaniards lay upon the wharf that jutted far out into the waters of the blue Mediterranean Ocean at Palos, Spain, and looked meditatively in the direction of the far West.
