Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of the New World by Josephine Pollard

by Josephine Pollard

In addition to discerning the remarkable character of the great discoverer, the biography presents specific acts of Providence, examples of the justice of God, and the vast treasures of the New World waiting to be developed. "Columbus wove the chain that links the old world to the new . . . The tale has for us a fresh charm, and old and young find in it some new thought to dwell lupon."

[Jill · Rating 3 out of 5]

More engaging than some of her other stories, this book was very thorough in Columbus's life, his failures, his persistence, and his voyages. Written for younger readers.

I read this book when I was 10 years old.
