We all know that Chris "discovered" America.
(Even though he apparently never knew that, himself...) Who did Columbus
find when he "discovered" the New World? How did he describe
them? What was his attitude toward the inhabitants he encountered? Can you
identify specific themes in his early diary? Where are those people
now? How many trips did he make to America? What happened on his
third trip?
