Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Christopher Columbus, Vol. 2 Succors of men and victuals brought by Torres. - Columbus introduces slavery into the New World. - Accusations and excuses. - Agreement with Portugal on a line of division (1494-95). The four vessels of Torres mentioned above, arrived at Isabella February 24th, 1495. On board were a physician and a pharmacist, whose aid proved valuable to the many sick in the colony; and, what was even more useful and urgent, a good supply of fresh laborers and artisans. The wonderful fertility of the land around Isabella, on the first sowing of European seed, had shown that with lit lie labor the Spaniards, in a short time, could have supplied themselves with an abundance of their own food; but directing their whole attention to the search for gold, the tillage of the land was neglected, and they were in danger of starvation in one of the most fertile countries of the world. Now, the new workmen, fresh in strength, and not spoilt by the bad example of the others, applying their labor to the first and most necessary wealth of the country, which was agriculture, would restore new life to the colony. The admiral was not more cheered by supplies of provisions and men than by the proofs which Torres brought him of the continued esteem and confidence of the king and queen.
