Columbus Biography a Great Read,
By Momorama (washintgon, dc) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Life of the Admiral Christopher Columbus: by his Son Ferdinand (Paperback)
I ordered this book after my second grade son came from school confused about "what Columbus really did." We have so enjoyed reading exerpts together. This is a fascinating biography of Columbus written by his son. Even my seven year old was intrigued!
