"In a simple, short biography of Columbus she has been extraordinarily successful in extracting the essence of the man."--The Horn Book Christopher Columbus thought he knew where he was going. He had planned to be the first to cross the ocean and reach the rich lands of the Indies. And when he returned to Spain, he insisted to everyone who would listen that he'd succeeded.
