Meet Christopher Columbus (Landmark Books)
by James T. De Kay Author
(From Amazon): When Christopher Columbus was young, he worked for his father, making cloth. But he did not want to be a cloth-maker all his life. He wanted to see new lands and have adventures. He wanted to be a sailor! By the time he was 25, Christopher had sailed to France, Africa, and Greece. He had seen strange cities and had had many adventures. But his greatest adventure would come when he set out for China and found a whole new world instead.
