The impact of Christopher Columbus's first transatlantic voyage
launched an unprecedented explosion of European exploration.
Throughout the last 500 years, scholars have recognized this
transforming event, and they have written extensively on the
subject. To date, no American author has dedicated a book to
Columbus's life before 1492. This book is a biography of
Christopher Columbus prior to 1492, with a focus on those
geographical experiences that affected his formulation of a
transatlantic concept. Incorporating extensive research from
American and European scholars (historians, geographers,
anthropologists, and cartographers), the author proposes that
Columbus systematically built a transatlantic voyage proposal from
knowledge gained on previous voyages in the Mediterranean Sea and
Eastern Atlantic Ocean. The extensive use of maps place Columbus's
actions on specific geographic land and ocean locations. The
curious public, especially persons interested in gleaning more
information about Columbus's maritime background, will find a
plethora of maps to visualize the extent of his early travels.
