About This Item
London: Sinclair-Stevenson. Fine/Fine. 1991. First Edition, First Impression. Hard Cover. 8vo 1856190676 Inscribed By the Author INSCRIBED ON TITLE PAGE "TO ANNE WITH THANKS, HUNTER DAVIES". 308 pages with 16 colour photographs. Clean and tight. Hunter Davies sought to make sense of the miasma of contradictory statements that have been made about Columbus. He studied the Archives of the Indies in Spain, and Columbus family documents in Italy. From this research, he produced a biography of Columbus, which appears in chapters alternating with an account of his own present-day journey in his predecessor's steps. In Haiti he tracked down the exact location at which the "Santa Maria" was shipwrecked and the first settlement established in the New World. He went to the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela - and many other places. .
