Christopher Columbus: A First Hand Account of His First Voyage to the New World, Part 1

from Historical Context · host Jeremy LaKosh

While many interpretations exist about the First Voyage of Christopher Columbus, what was it really like? What happened when land was expected but still not found? How did the natives react to Columbus's presence on their homeland? What struggles did Columbus face with the natives and his crew?  While the diaries of Christopher Columbus have long been lost, 16th century friar and writer Bartolome de Las Casas copied the diary into the third person.  This copy is readily accessible today and takes a deep dive into the first voyage of Christopher Columbus.   For More Information:  Info on Zuane Pizzigano: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuane_Pizzigano  Info on King John II of Portgual: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_II_of_Portugal  Info on King Ferdinand II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_II_of_Aragon Ferdinand II  Painting by: Michael Sittow  Info on Queen Isabella I: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_I_of_Castile  Read the Articles of Agreement between Christopher Columbus and Spain: https://www.americanjourneys.org/pdf/AJ-061.pdf  Read the Journal of the First Voyage of Columbus: https://amzn.to/2RkDDql  Columbus Travel Map: By Keith Pickering - Own work based on content from http://www.gebco.net/, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=17513847
