Christopher Columbus & Others
by Russell Bourne Author
Follow the incredible voyages of Columbus, Dias, Balboa, Da Gama, Magellan, Cortes, Pizarro--and discover the men whose courage changed the world. Some explorers sailed for riches and glory. Some wanted to conquer the unknown. Others sailed to spread the word of God, and then there were those who needed to escape their troubles. Whatever the reasons, it was these heroes and rogues of the sixteenth century who set the pattern that many would follow --even those who today explore the stars.
