Columbus and His Predecessors : A Study in the Beginnings of American History (Classic Reprint) (9780666187901)

Excerpt from Columbus and His Predecessors: A Study in the Beginnings of American History Although the approved method whereby the present-day historian gleans the facts of his nar rative is by research among original documents and contemporary papers and by collating these in the most critical manner, this method seems to have been little followed in the history of the dis covery of America. Strange as it may seem, the beginnings of the history of the New World re main hidden in the dusk of uncertainty. At best we have come only into the twilight of knowledge regarding even the central figure of this period, for it cannot be said that the full and accurate story has yet been told of the man himself who is the accepted discoverer of the Western hemi sphere. In view honest pride in our coun try's standing among the nations, it is far from flattering that we should have to make such an admission at this late date.
