+1 862 207 3288 Columbus’ Voyage
In the opening chapter of his book, Roger Daniels argues that Christopher Columbus was “a man who, when he started, didn’t know where he was going, when he arrived[,]
didn’t know where he was, and when he returned, didn’t know where he had been.” However, Columbus “planted the first permanent European colony in the New World” (page
15). Do a thorough search about the circumstances of his first trans-Atlantic voyage (August 3 – October 12, 1492). Study at least two of the recommended sources (as
listed below). Take good notes. Then summarize your findings. In a concise informative essay, refer to the sources.
