Ep. 3: The Boy Who Knew the World was Round part 1 (Genoa, Italy 1451).

This boy, as every American knows, was Christopher Columbus, the man who discovered America for what we call “the Old World.”It is said that, living as he did in this little seaport town, he was generally, when not at school, to be found standing about the wharves watching the great ships come in, and listening to the marvelous stories that the sailors told."I shall be a sailor!" he would say to himself as he listened; and then, like all other small lads, he longed to grow big and strong and old. "When I'm a man, I shall be a sailor!"This series is presented by Reed Simonsen & Ron Garrard and is based on the book series by the same name available on Amazon and at various other retailers.
