The author, Carol Delaney, brings Columbus into his proper historical context so that the reader can understand him and his times better. The book is well researched. The cover is my favorite Columbus painting. It’s probably the best modern-day nonprimary sourcebook on the subject. It should be part of your Columbus library collection.  #CarolDelaneyColumbusBook

What does this movie have to do with Columbus? The answer is, a lot. Columbus was looking to evangelize Cipangu (Japan), but it wasn’t until later when the Jesuits did. The Jesuits (or The Society of Jesus) were co-founded by Spanish Catholic priest, Ignacio de Loyola, who was born in 1491. However, this movie is […]

Question: What is wrong with the video link above from The History Channel? Answer: Everything! It is a shame that a channel using the name “History” doesn’t know what “Cristopher Columbus discovered America” means! If Columbus did not discover America because there were people already living here, then by the same faulty logic the Vikings, […]

Source and article from The Local It (June 14, 2018): “The United States on Thursday returned to the Vatican a copy of a handwritten 15th-century letter by Christopher Columbus in which the explorer recounts his ‘discovery of America’ to the Spanish royal family.”

Some time ago, a Youtuber who goes by the name of “Knowing Better” (KB) made a video defending Columbus from many of the revisions out there.

What is wrong with Wikipedia’s biography on Columbus? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus) First, let me start with what they’ve got right: Though long and boring, Columbus’ biography on Wikipedia has a lot of scholarly accurate information there. However, it also has the usual revisionist innuendos and inaccuracies.  For example, Wikipedia claims Columbus “founded the transatlantic slave trade.” Yet, […]

This so-called Top 5 atrocities committed by Christopher Columbus is being used by some people on the internet. Apparently the article is affiliated with the Associated Press somehow. The first thing to notice is that the source for the article is Howard Zinn, who was not a primary historical source, but a history revisionist of […]

This book is NOT a full biography about Columbus. Rather, it is the insights of the author (Morison) as a sailor, who went with an expedition to recreate the voyages of Columbus. He tells the readers what Columbus got right or wrong, as a sailor, and how he was indeed the greatest sailor of his era. […]

Here is the answer from my book “Christopher Columbus The Hero” Chapter 3: Chapter 3. Discover, not “Discover” The traditional story of Christopher Columbus tells us that he discovered America. However, revisionists want to discredit Columbus, not only with lies and innuendo but even with semantics! They want us to spell the word discover in […]
