Excerpt from Vita di Cristoforo ColomboPer questo conto Las Casas, sebbene ecclesia stico, fu assai diverso da Colombo. Le dottrine che gl' Indiani dovessero essere un poco inciviliti prima di venir convertiti, e anche il battesimo essere posposto all' istruzione, dottrine che sarebbero state pronta mente accolte dal buon vescovo, avrebbero trovato mal riscontro nella soldatesca teologia di Colombo.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This other Spaniard, who had also received the message of Cortez, was not inclined to leave his wife and children, and, moreover, he was ashamed to show himself with his nostrils and his ears bored after the manner of the people with whom he lived. Geronimo de Aguilar served afterward as interpreter to Cortez, and an interpreter was so useful that it was looked upon as a miraculous interposition that the fleet had been obliged to return to Cozumel, and had thus secured, at the outset of their undertaking, the services of so valuable a comrade. It is worthy of notice that the inhabitants of Cozumel were found to worship an idol in the shape of a cross.' This statement is amply confirmed by the discoveries recently made in Central Americas! Leaving Cozumel, and passing round the coast of Yucatan, Cortez made his entry at the river of Grijalva into New Spain. After some resistance from the natives, he disembarked, and took possession of the country in the name of the Spanish monarch.

Excerpt from Conversations on War and General Culture[The conversations which I am about to report, took place soon after the early victories of the Germans over the French. I suppose it would have been better if these conversations had been confined to one subject - as, doubtless, Mr. Milverton had originally intended that they should be. But conversation is a thing that no one of the interlocutors can rule; and it will proceed in its own sinuous and eccentric way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life of Columbus: The Discoverer of AmericaThis Life of Columbus is one of a series of biographies prepared under my superintendence, and for the most part taken verbatim from my "History of the Spanish Conquest in America."That work was written chiefly with a view to illustrate the history of slavery, and not to give full accounts of the deeds of the discoverers and conquerors of the New World, much less to give a condensed memoir of each of them.It has, therefore, been necessary to re-arrange and add considerably to these materials, and for this assistance I am indebted to the skill and research of Mr. Herbert Preston Thomas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Biographies & Memoirs

Christopher Columbus was a Genoa born explorer and trader who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492 under the flag of Castile. History places a great significance on his landing in America in 1492, with the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, is celebrated in many parts of America. His voyage marked the beginning of the European colonization of the Americas.
