About this book

Edward Everett Hale wrote this life of Christopher Columbus in 1891, as the 400th anniversary of the voyage of 1492 approached, working from Columbus's own letters and journals and other documents of his time. Hale chose to follow the explorer's personal fortunes closely, giving only as much room to the Spanish court and the West Indies as those fortunes required.

His preface praises Washington Irving's earlier biography, says he made full use of Henry Harrisse's volumes, and describes a visit to Spain in 1882 for his inquiry.
