A History of the Character and Achievements of the So-Called Christopher Columbus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A History of the Character and Achievements of the So-Called Christopher Columbus

IN giving the present work to the public, in sending it forth a single champion against a host of opponents, many of whom are the flower of literary chivalry, the author is aware that its reception will not be altogether a friendly one; he has, however, devoted several years of thought and study to the subject which is now imperfectly treated, and the deeper he has dived into the secrets of unpublished or forgotten history, the more firm have become his convictions that some proclamation of the truth should be made, some protest entered against the further propagation of a falsehood under the name of history.
