Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, and the Origin of the North American Indians The Norwegians claim their share of the glory, on grounds rather better than the Welsh. By their settlements in Iceland and Greenland, they had arrived within so small a distance of the new world, that there is at least a possibility of its having been touched at by a people so versed in maritine affairs, and so adventurous, as the ancient Normans were. The proofs are much more numerous than those produced by British historians, for the discovery is mentioned in several Islandic manuscripts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of America: A Pageant American poets who have the historical sense are learning that the history of their nation offers them a wealth of romantic and noble incident, most suitable for poetic treatment. America is a splendid idealistic adventure, to be chronicled not by pedants, but by poets. To the Catholic poet especially the history of our nation is an inviting theme, for the Church plays a glorious part in American development. Father Coakley has taken a magnificent theme, and treated it with appropriate dignity and enthusiasm. No one can read it without a new and strong realization of the bond between America and the Catholic Church. He makes that gallant gentleman, Columbus, very human; he makes us see also that Kings and Queens can be genuinely regal. I am glad that he has written this Pageant, and that it is to be produced at this time, when the Cross and the Flag are going out to victory together.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Discovery and Conquest of America As it was from Spain that I had to expect the most important information, with regard to this part of my work, I considered it as a very fortunate circumstance for me, when Lord Grantham, to whom I had the honour of being personally known, and with whose liberality of sentiment, and disposition to oblige, I was well acquainted, was appointed ambassador to the court of Madrid. Upon applying to him, I met with such a reception as satisfied me that his endeavours would be employed in the most proper manner, in order to obtain the gratification of my wishes; and I am perfectly sensible, that what progress I have made in my inquiries among the Spaniards, ought to be ascribed chiefly to their knowing how much his lord ship interested himself in my success.

Download or read book Columbus and the Spanish Discovery of America Classic Reprint written by Charles Francis Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbus and the Spanish Discovery of America It is, however, wholly aside from my purpose to enter into any controversy over Columbus. It is enough to say that the part he played in the great drama of the discovery and subsequent development of America was no less important than it was dramatic; but, as it is my purpose to show, the real impor tance of his part in the discovery was due not to the man him self, but to those he represented, the company, so to speak, he carried with him to America. Himself a Genoese adven turer, just as ready to sail in the service of France or England as of Portugal or Spain, it so chanced he did sail in the service of Spain, with results for Spain, Europe, the New World, and indeed for the whole human race, to some of which I now propose to refer. It is necessary to say only one word more in regard to the discovery of America. Before doing so I want to repeat and emphasize the belief that nothing which scholars can unearth or critics suggest can, or in my judgment should, detract from the brilliancy of the exploit of Columbus, or the admiration it exacts. He sailed due West into the unknown in order to reach the East. He did it; and he alone did it. The fact that the Norsemen had five centuries before done what he now did in no wise detracts from the splendor of the achievement. The scientific result was his he is entitled to all credit for it.

Download or read book Heroes of Discovery in America Classic Reprint written by Charles Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Discovery in America The explorers of this continent were great men in their day, and they have made a great mark on the his tory of the land they made known. For more than four centuries their work has been kept up and it is not yet complete, for there are areas still in America on which the foot of the white man has not been set. From Columbus, who daringly crossed an unknown ocean to discover an unknown continent, to Peary, who in our own day has time and again plunged into the seas of ice in restless quest of the mysterious pole, the list is a long one and is filled with names of valiant and unconquerable men. Heroes of discovery are these in the highest sense, and it is fitting that the story of their deeds should be put upon record. This we have sought to do, in as full a sense as the space at our command permits, endeavoring to omit none of the great discoverers, none of the leaders in this great drama of the opening of a new world. It is hoped that readers will find these tales full of interest and inspira tion and gain from them an adequate sense of what was accomplished in the great work of exploring a continent.
