Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Life of Christopher Columbus This volume was at first written without the aid of Washington Irving's work. The old narratives, including that by the son of Columbus, and his own letters, supplied the body of the biography, which I once intended to swell to dimensions far more voluminous. The American writer enabled me, with little labour, to fill in such minute details as could be introduced into a narrative so slight, and it is as much from feeling as from duty, that I congratulate Washington Irving on his work, and America on the historian of her discovery. The graceful style, and the warm spirit of his writings, have made him a familiar friend with the English reader; and, in producing this little biography of Christopher Columbus, I trust I shall be considered rather as seeking to follow in his track than as attempting to rival even the most compressed version of his narrative. In the "Life and Voyages" of Columbus, we have one monument of his fame, engraved elaborately with a picture of all his varied fortunes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life Christopher Columbus A series of volumes, upon the Pioneers and Patriots of America, would certainly be defective if they did not contain an account of the adventures of Christopher Columbus, the most illustrious of all the pioneers of the New World.

The writer has endeavored to give a perfectly correct account of his character and career, and has been careful to present to the reader his authority for every important statement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Christopher Columbus Sents peculiar difficulties. There are no sources of exact information about many of the facts of his career. It is not known with certainty when he was born or where, or how his boyhood and youth were spent; or whether he was learned in the books or attained his success through a knowledge of nature at first hand. His death went almost unnoticed, and his burial place is unknown. At best, his biography is a recounting of the proba bilities, the story of what the biographer believes he did. Columbus was a mystic. A great vision came to him and became the controlling influence of his life. Faith in the V1s1on gave him courage to face hunger and pain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus: His Life and His Work The researches of this acute critic in the manuscript records, as well as in the published writings of Italy and Spain, make his works indispensable to a correct understanding of the age of Columbus. I have not, however, been able to adopt without reservation his views in regard to the work attributed to the son of the Admiral. The force of Harrisse's reasoning is unquestionable; but, as it seems to me, there is internal evidence that the author of the book, whether Fernando or not, had unusual opportunities for knowledge in regard to the matters about which he wrote. While, therefore, I have used the work with great caution, I have not felt justified in rejecting it as altogether spurious. The reader will not go far in the perusal of this volume without perceiving that I have endeavoured to emancipate myself from the thraldom of that uncritical admiration in which it has been fashionable to hold the Discoverer, ever since Washington Irving threw over the subject the romantic and bewitching charm of his literary skill. Irving revealed the spirit with which he wrote when he decried what he was pleased to call "that pernicious erudition which busies itself with undermining the pedestals of our national monuments."
