Title: Excellent account historically, Exciting to read
Review: Highly recommended and easy to read. The writer worked hard to maintain a smooth narrative flow. You will meet some formerly unknown characters who round out the story well.This book makes you appreciate what Columbus accomplished in his voyages, but also makes you cringe at his treatment of the "native" people. However, Degard helps put Columbus' treatment in perspective by discussing the genocide carried out by his contemporary, Don Nicolas Ovando.Finally, you must read this book if for nothing else than the discussion of the origin of the nautical phrase "poop" deck.Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this delightful book!
