What happened on Columbus's first voyage across the Atlantic? Who
was responsible for the success of that voyage? How do we know?
These questions were debated in the courts of Spain for decades
after 1492. Some of those who sailed with Columbus left very
different accounts, as recorded in those trial records. Their
competing voices have long been silenced by the deafening crescendo
of Columbus's own narrative-a narrative riddled with contradictions
and inconsistencies that beg to be explained. This documentary
history allows the reader to encounter the founding documents of
the Columbus story as well as the voices that dared to challenge
it-even in his own day. What these documents reveal forces us to
re-imagine Columbus and his voyage in surprising ways. Columbus and
His First Voyage brings together for the first time the two
contemporary versions of what happened on the first voyage - the
Columbian narrative and the Pinzon narrative - and embeds them in a
thorough introduction to Columbus, his first voyage, and the myths
that surround this pivotal event in the history of the modern
world.
