Discovery of the Americas, 1492-1800 - Discovery and Exploration Revised edition

In 1492, Christopher Columbus led an expedition sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to find the passage to the west to the riches of India. Instead, he discovered the islands of present-day Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. This title tells the stories of explorers whose travels made major contributions to world history.
