Honoring Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus is the discoverer of America, and by that discovery ultimately responsible for America's evangelization; and for this we should forever honor him. Columbus scheduled his departure on the morrow of the fiesta, so that his men could join in thanksgiving and prayer with their families and relatives on the feast-day especially dear to them and to their people. Columbus knew how much he owed Queen Isabel, and repaid her with these words of appreciation and devotion even as he knew that his own work was finished and his life nearly so. www.ewtn.com /library/HOMELIBR/columbus.htm   (4937 words)

Christopher Columbus Answers All Charges Columbus answers general accusations, accusations concerning his origins, and accusations concerning his voyages as well as his sense of divine mission, with his infallible logic, a logic that undercuts completely the imperialist argument and shows the giddy sideshow of "discovery" for what it was. Columbus is blamed for everything from slavery and colonialism to the current state of the environment. Writing as a lonely old man in a villa in Valladolid, Columbus responds with bombast and wit to accusations that his voyages were religious expeditions disguised as voyages of business, that his voyages were business trips under the guise of sacred missions, and that he was obsessed by hats. www.sentex.net /~pql/columbus.html   (750 words)

Columbus and the Age of Discovery (William Morrow, 1991) is the companion volume to the 7-part series by the same name he produced for PBS.
