To America and Around the World: The Logs of Christopher Columbus and of Ferdinand Magellan

This quincentennial book contains the daily logs kept by Columbus--himself, and by Magellan's scribe, Antonio Pigafetta, on their fateful voyages to the unknown Americas and, subsequently, around the world. These voyages have unequivocally changed and impacted on the western world like few other events. The logs herewith are the first translations into English, and read like many modern adventure stories. (Branden Publishing)
