His expeditions, sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, were the first European contact with the Caribbean, Central America, and South American peoples. This publication, "Four Voyages Of Christopher Columbus" examines the perils, successes and failures of one of the most known voyagers across the oceans.
