Columbus sailed

Our History Library Guide focuses on post American Revolution history. Though, one can find links to solid resources for information about the early explorers.

-- The books tab has a search box for Credo Reference.
-- The articles tab has links to resources in GALILEO - World History Collection, History Reference Center, and Annals of American History.

Annals of American History includes a letter written by Christopher Columbus, dated March 14, 1493 which describes the lands and people he had seen.

Christopher Columbus isn't held in the same high esteem he once was, but he started the procession of 15th century Europeans crossing the Atlantic like it was a pond.
