In 1492 Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Palos in Spain to Guanahani, which he renamed San Salvador. Two weeks later he discovered Cuba. In all he made four voyages to the New World, presenting Spain with a vast new empire and, through his discoveries, nearly doubling the size of the known world. What kind of man was Columbus? This book assembles all the important facts about the life and times of the great visionary, explorer and mystic, the man who insisted on being addressed as Admiral of the Ocean Sea and who, for the last ten years of his life, wore the habit of a franciscan friar.
