Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Life of Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus is a figure in history which presents all the variations, the shiftings, the many-colored lights of a kaleidescope. He has no fixed name in the language of the nation. He is Columbus, Columbo, Colon, Colonus; he is Christoval Colon, and Christopher Columbus. He is claimed by the residents of several places as having been born in their respective localities; he was descended from noble families, and his father was a humble wool-comber. He was educated at a university, he assisted his father in his lowly occupation. He was a student, a wool-comber, and a sailor at the immature age of fourteen years. He was familiar with geography, and yet, as the facts subsequently established, he scarcely knew its simplest rudiments. These are only a few of the contrarieties in his life as recorded in history.
