Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 6
Produced by David Widger
"Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 6" by Filson Young is a historical account detailing the life and voyages of Christopher Columbus, written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses specifically on Columbus's third voyage and the circumstances surrounding it, as well as the consequences of his actions in the New World. The narrative depicts the exploration and discoveries made by Columbus as well as the political and social challenges he faced during his expeditions, providing insight into the era of European exploration and colonization. In this volume, Columbus sets sail on his third voyage with the objective of finding the mainland of the New World, driven by ambition and mystical beliefs about wealth and land. This expedition is marked by a series of challenges, including harsh weather, health issues affecting Columbus, and conflicts with both indigenous peoples and his own crew. Young richly details the environment Columbus encounters, his encounters with native populations, and the nature of colonial struggles in the island of Hispaniola as political tensions rise. The narrative portrays Columbus’s increasingly precarious position, showcasing both his determination and ultimate failures as he grapples with the realities of leadership, the mounting chaos in the colonies, and his own declining health.
