Excerpt from The Story of Christopher ColumbusSents 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 in¿uence of his life. Faith in the V1s1on gave him courage to face hunger and pain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
