IN SEARCH OF COLOMBUS
Author(s): HUNTER DAVIES
Hunter Davies sought to make sense of the miasma of contradictory statements that have been made about Columbus. He studied the Archives of the Indies in Spain, and Columbus family documents in Italy. From this research, he produced a biography of Columbus, which appears in chapters alternating with an account of his own present-day journey in his predecessor's steps. In Haiti he tracked down the exact location at which the "Santa Maria" was shipwrecked and the first settlement established in the New World. He went to the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela - and many other places.
Sinclair Stevenson, 1991. First edition. A near fine, unmarked copy with light uniform browning to the pages. The d/w is unclipped and very good with light sunfading to the spine.
