Description:

Douglas T. Peck is a retired USAF officer and experienced ocean navigator who conducts historical field studies of early explorers by following their navigation logs in a scientifically controlled reconstruction of their voyages. With this pragmatic and proven approach, backed by over eight years of comprehensive academic research, Peck has been able to correct many of the erroneous and distorted views of Columbus and his voyage that persist in popular historical writings. This book first presents a true picture of the intrinsic character of Columbus and the factual purpose of his voyage, then proves conclusively that Columbus was an exceedingly accurate navigator, his navigation log was accurate and easily followed, and his true landfall in the New World was on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas rather than on the several other proposed landfall islands.
