The Columbus Story They Never Taught You (All 4 Voyages)

In 1492, the Spanish Inquisition was burning heretics, Spain expelled its Jews, and Christopher Columbus sailed west. This is the full true story of all four of his voyages and the birth of the New World, told through the eyewitnesses who were there. Columbus's first landfall in the Bahamas, the Cannibal Caribs of Guadeloupe, the first Spanish colonies on Hispaniola, the Taíno, and the day Columbus himself was sent back to Spain in chains. Then a year stranded on Jamaica, and the blood moon he used to survive. The Columbus story they never taught you, and the beginning of the Spanish Empire in the Americas and the road to New Spain.
