Hunter Davies sought to make sense of the miasma of contradictory statements that have been made about Columbus. He studied the Archives of the Indies in Spain, and Columbus family documents in Italy. From this research, he produced a biography of Columbus, which appears in chapters alternating with an account of his own present-day journey in his predecessor's steps.

He went to the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela - and many other places. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
