About this book
Sources come before the man in this book on Columbus by Justin Winsor, editor of the Narrative and Critical History of America. The opening chapters survey the documents and those who gathered them, then the biographers and portraits of Columbus, before turning to his ancestry and home, the uncertainties of his early life and the pull of Portugal. Maps, facsimiles and engravings illustrate the chapters. It appeared in 1891 and is dedicated to the historian Francis Parkman, with a letter noting Italians such as Cabot and Verrazano who served other nations' flags.
