Excerpt from The Life of Christopher Columbus
As Columbus had found a home in Lisbon, he thought it right to make the King of Portugal an offer of his services. King John did not treat Columbus well, for when trusted by him with all his maps and plans, the king made use of them in secret, and sent a ship to try the course that Columbus had in mind.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the gripping true story of Christopher Columbus, the explorer who discovered the Americas in 1492. The author brings the era to life by sharing extracts from Columbus's own journals as he set out with three ships across the Atlantic Ocean, in search of a westward route to the Indies. Despite scorn and rejection from many, and near mutiny from his crew, Columbus persevered, driven by an unshakeable conviction that there was land beyond the horizon. Finally, after many weeks at sea, land was sighted, and Columbus and his crew became the first Europeans to set foot in the New World. This book sheds light on the motivations, trials, and ultimate triumph of one of history's greatest explorers, whose discovery would forever change the course of human history.
