Excerpt from Christopher Columbus: Translated From the German of Joachim Heinrich Campe There are five representatives of the Columbus family more or less famous in the history of exploration, viz., Christopher, the discoverer of America, Bartolomeo, brother of Christopher, governor of Isabella and founder of San Domingo, Diego, brother of Christopher, who accompanied him on his second voyage and subsequently entered the priesthood, Diego, son of Christopher, and his successor as governor of Hispaniola, Ferdinand, illegitimate son of Christopher, who accompanied his father on his fourth voyage and became his biographer, and Colon, grandson of Christopher, who was made Duke of Veraqua, Marquis of Jamaica, and Captain-general of Hispaniola, but all of them shine in the reflected light of Christopher, except his brother Bartolomeo, who, while not as skilful a navigator and explorer as his brother, was a great soldier, an experienced administrator, and the principal support of Christopher in his many difficulties and hardships.
