Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 5
Produced by David Widger
"Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 5" by Filson Young is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into the voyages and experiences of Christopher Columbus during his exploration of the New World, focusing particularly on his interactions with various islands, the challenges he faced from disillusioned expedition members, and the relationships he built with indigenous populations. The topic centers on Columbus's expeditions and the subsequent impact of his discoveries. In this volume, the narrative takes readers through Columbus's attempts to establish a sustainable colony in Isabella while seeking riches, particularly gold, in the New World. It details the deteriorating conditions in the colony due to inadequate supplies and growing tensions among the crew, leading to a mutiny against Columbus. Despite setbacks, including illness and the treachery of his subordinates, Columbus organizes expeditions to explore nearby territories, including Cuba and Jamaica. The interactions with the native peoples, marked by both attempts at diplomacy and increasing violence, highlight the complex dynamics of colonization as Columbus struggles to convince the Spanish Crown of the wealth and potential of his discoveries, inadvertently contributing to the tragic fate of the indigenous populations.

Reading ease score: 54.0 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
